Expert take: what NRP really tests

NRP has two parts — an online examination (after self-studying the NRP textbook) and an instructor-led simulation event with skills stations and debriefing. The skills, especially effective positive-pressure ventilation, are where competency is judged, and provider status runs on a two-year cycle.
