ANN Certification Review
Welcome!
This Certification Review Course edited by Cheryl Riley, DNP, APRN, NNP-BC and Lori Rubarth, PhD, APRN, NNP-BC, is designed to prepare you for either the NCC-NIC Certification exam, administered by the National Certification Corporation, or the CCRN Neonatal Certification exam, administered by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses.
The content is organized to allow you to focus on areas that are most relevant to your needs. As with the certification test blueprint, there is greater emphasis on General Assessment and Management, and Assessment & Management of Pathophysiologic States.
Each of the 15 chapters begin with a set of practice questions that allows you to gauge your level of knowledge. Correct answers include a rationale and references. Incorrect answers provide links to study guides to help you further understand the content. The study guides are written in point form to allow you to find the information you want to review quickly and easily.
The practice questions can be completed an unlimited number of times by using the 'Reset Progress' button at the top of the page. There are two final exams with an option to take each test a second time. Each 120-question exam requires a passing grade of 80 percent. Once submitted with a passing grade you can review the results.
There are many ways to approach the process of preparing for a certification exam as well as taking the actual exam. Our Tips and Resources page provides information about test-taking strategies, up-to-date references, and links to NCC and CCRN test requirements.
An eight-question evaluation concludes the course.

NAS Resource Center
The use of both prescription and non-prescription opioids in North America is resulting in a large number of newborns at risk of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS). The Academy of Neonatal Nursing recognizes the challenge of caring for these newborns and their families and has put together a go-to resource that includes articles, lectures, webinars and informational links to provide you with the latest in neonatal research and evidence informed care.
Advisory Panel: We would like to thank Karen D'Apolito, PhD, NNP-BC, FAAN; Denise McGuire, PhD, RN, CNL; Mary Puchalski, DNP, APN, CNS, NNP-BC and Lenora Marcellus, PhD, RN, MN, for sharing their time and knowledge to develop this project.

Guide to NICU Care
Nursing skills are developed over time and require continued practice. Working with an experienced mentor in the clinical setting is an essential part of fine tuning your skills. The Guide to NICU Care was designed to provide nurses with a framework to understand basic concepts of neonatal nursing and to further develop clinical skills. Resources for this guide include articles, webinars, recorded conference lectures, videos, and in some instances, references to consult for more information. To increase your knowledge, some of the categories include CE activities for continued nursing education credit.
If you are new to the NICU, need a refresher on the basics, or are a nurse manager or educator looking for an orientation tool, we are confident this guide will meet your needs. Many of the books referenced in this guide are available for purchase at the ANN Online Store.

Guide to Neuro Care
Regardless of the Level nursery neonatal providers practice in, being able to recognize and appropriately manage infants with neurologic system dysfunction as well as those at risk for neurologic injury is essential. Infants may be referred to the Level III and IV nursery when they need specialized care for neurologic injury, including possible surgery or other therapeutic interventions. Nurses must have a clear understanding of the development of the neurologic system, neurologic pathology that can present in the neonatal period, clinical findings suggesting neurologic pathology and strategies to address and manage care for at-risk infants.
Objectives
- Describe the developmental physiology of the neurologic system
- Discuss perinatal and neonatal risks for altered neurologic development and/or behavior in the newborn
- Describe normal and abnormal findings related to the neurologic exam of the newborn
- Describe strategies used to support neurologic stabilization and ongoing assessment
- Discuss the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic evaluation of neonates with:
- Disorders of development
- Spinal defects
- Neurodevelopmental defects
- Congenital hydrocephalus
- Anencephaly
- Acquired disorders
- Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
- Seizure
- Intra/Extracranial Hemorrhage
- White Matter Injury
- Disorders of development
- Describe pharmacologic strategies used in the management of neurologic injury
- Identify strategies used to monitor outcomes of neurologic injury and therapeutic management

Guide to Neonatal Ventilation
Respiratory management of the extreme preterm infant continues to be a challenge in modern neonatology clinical practice. The goals for these fragile infants are to reduce or prevent the evolution of severe chronic lung disease along with the adverse pulmonary vascular outcomes associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). It is pivotal, therefore, for all clinicians involved in the care of these infants to have a comprehensive knowledge of the various ventilatory modalities available for the management of common respiratory diseases of the neonate.
Case studies in this Guide to Neonatal Ventilation provide a framework for discussion of key factors that influence the choice of ventilation modalities. The choice of modalities and the settings used in this Guide serve as examples to discuss ventilation and do not represent standard of care. The experience with various modalities and the expertise of care providers are key factors in the success of any ventilation strategy. Please refer to your facility guidelines regarding the modalities of ventilation used in your setting.
