Tool 2: An observation checklist to assess nurses' practice regarding post cardio pulmonary resuscitation for critically ill neonates. Results: There was a statistical significant positive correlation between total knowledge scores and total practice scores of the studied nurses post electronic learning package application. Conclusion: It can be concluded that, electronic learning package application had a positive effect on improvement of nurses' knowledge and practice level, which indicates that, the electronic learning package application is greatly effective.
