The Second Edition of Baby Steps to Home is Out Now!
NANN is proud to announce that the updated edition of Baby Steps to Home is now available to nurses and parents! This free resource standardizes the discharge pathway used by NICU nurses to educate parents about their babies’ conditions and prepare them for discharge. In each step, nurses will find evidence-based PDFs for their own education and easy-to-understand, editable documents that can be printed and handed to parents following a discussion.
This new edition offers revisions to 85% of the handouts as well as 19 new handouts for nurses and patients. These updates include:
- New handouts on newborn screening and critical congenital heart defects screening
- A new handout on Postpartum depression
- Six new diagnoses
- Six new medications
- A new section on procedures
- An updated and expanded resources section
