Congenital Heart Defects

This webquest was designed with the intention of strengthening current knowledge on congenital heart disease.  The goal of the webquest was to prepare neonatal nurse practitioner students for their up-coming certification exam.

Standards

Neonatal nurse practitioners must possess a wealth of knowledge in order to maintain the standards of care while managing ill neonates. Providing excellent care requires us to constantly search and add to our knowledge base.

Credits

I would like to thank Dr. Cheryl Alley for her patience and support during the creation of this webquest. I would also like to thank my peers for their support during this educational journey. I would like to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you "Good Luck" on your up-coming exam. Congratulations...you made it!!!!
