Neonatal Advanced Life Support (NALS) - Coming Early 2025
Advancing Resuscitation Education for Better Outcomes
The American Red Cross, in collaboration with the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN), is expanding its resuscitation education to include two blended learning NALS course options: Foundations (traditional e-learning providing a solid understanding of foundational concepts in neonatal resuscitation) and Comprehensive (adaptive and case learning tailored to comprehensive understanding and application of neonatal resuscitation techniques and protocols). By broadening the reach of neonatal resuscitation education to not just in-hospital settings but also birthing centers and emergency medical services (EMS), healthcare providers will be better equipped with the critical skills and knowledge to improve neonatal outcomes.

Neonatal Advanced Life Support (NALS)
With nearly half of U.S. counties experiencing maternity care deserts or low access to maternity care, expanding neonatal resuscitation education inside and outside of the hospital is more critical than ever.
To address this need, the American Red Cross has collaborated with the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) to develop a new and innovative option for neonatal resuscitation training that addresses the management of the newborn both in an out of the traditional delivery room or neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The new blended learning NALS courses will help expand both the reach and access to scientifically validated training across the healthcare continuum.
The two NALS blended learning courses (Foundations and Comprehensive) combine evidence-based interventions, psychomotor skills and high-reliability principles with critical thinking and problem-solving strategies to equip healthcare providers with the necessary tools for effective intervention.
