The 25th Annual Educational Conference Recordings

This educational activity is a multimedia presentation of lectures delivered at the National Association of Neonatal Nurses 25th Annual Educational Conference, September 23-26, 2009 in Austin, Texas. These recordings feature audio synchronized with speaker slides as well as any Q&A.
