So using the DVD that comes with the book was VERY helpful.. It has the exact information the book offers and MORE!
 NPR 5th edition July 1, 2008
The new NPR 5th edition is an excellent resource for anyone needing to prepare for certification for NPR (i.e. ob/neonatal nurses, OB's, pediatricians, perinatologists, etc)
It is easy to read, has repitition that allows reinforcement of principles learned throughout the text. Quizzes appear throughout to assist in retention and integration of information.
The DVD-ROM included in the book is improved over the last one. For the visual learner, this is most helpful. The DVD-ROM includes, computer generated images, scenarios, and the book quizzes as well. An excellent adjunct to the book, that can be used as a stand-alone review.
There are a few discrepancies between the book and the DVD-ROM, but overall the set together is worth the price.
There is also the availability to take the NPR written examination on-line and then locate an instructor to complete the practical sessions. This is helpful for any busy practitioner when needing to schedule this exam, since the written component has close to 100 questions.
Neonatal Resuscitation April 5, 2008
I found that this version was extremely useful in preparation for taking the NRP renewal test and practical for the mock code. It is also a great reference manual in my work in the NICU. I like that it came with a DVD.
Great material to review and pass the exam May 13, 2007

Expanding on previous editions, the latest version of NPR provides a clear and concise format with which to study from in order to prepare and successfully pass the NPR exam. The included CD-ROM is a computer version of the text reading material. It did, however, have the appropriate videos which would assist any RN needing a quick review of various situations presented in real-time format. The book is highly recommended to any health-care professional needing information for the first time or any time usage for neonatal care.
Easy to follow and understand for the NRP novice December 14, 2005

Studying for my renewal for NRP proved to be as easy as the initial class with the cd-rom. I have extremely limited contact with this pt. population, but I am able to easily recall the information attained through this text/multimedia. Although nothing substitutes actual "hands-on," instruction or experience, this will provide a valuable asset for the ACLS/PALS impaired.
