FAQ
Where do I take the online class?
Select the following link for the online class (current fee is $45-$55): https://nrplearningplatform.com/login
You will need to choose and complete either the “Essentials” or “Advanced” online course. Normally, “Advanced” is required for higher acuity unit staff and advanced providers, but please check with your employer before beginning the online course. If you are unsure which course to choose, we strongly recommend the Advanced online course so that you do not need to pay again and retake the class if your employer requires Advanced.
Should I choose the "ESSENTIALS" or the "ADVANCED" online course?
Students should confirm with their employer or unit manager prior to choosing the Advanced or Essentials course. Generally, NICU staff take the Advanced online course, and others take the Essentials course, but requirements may vary from one employer to another.
