Who would have thought just over 10 years ago that almost no one had heard the term “ Newborn Care Specialist” and yet within the last year we have released the INA Newborn Care Specialist Credential Exam and now, a new tool for agencies!
The Newborn Care Specialist Basic Skills Assessment is HERE!
NCS Agencies and Educators, are you looking for a way to assess a candidate’s overall skill level before placing them in a home with a newborn?
Are you a NCS that wants to set yourself apart from the large number of caregivers entering the field?
