The NNP Certification Prep Course is a concentrated study program designed to assist nursing professionals preparing for the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) Certification Exam. In addition to identifying the preferred response, a "neonatal nugget" or "perinatal pearl" of information with reference is supplied for each self-assessment and test question.
