BLS for Healthcare Providers This course is intended for licensed and non-licensed individuals who provide direct patient care in a variety of settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, home healthcare, and elsewhere in the community. These individuals include nurses, EMTs, physician assistants, respiratory, physical, occupational and speech therapists, med. or nursing students, medical residents, or fellows. The student will learn the skills of CPR for victims of all ages (adult, child, and infant), use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) (adult and child), and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (child, adult, and infant). Course length is approximately 3 hours.
Please note it is the student's responsibility to determine which course he/she needs. Make sure you check with your employer or school to decide if they require BLS for Healthcare Providers vs. the Heartsaver AED course!!! We will not refund your money for taking the wrong course or failing a course. Students will have to pay full price for any course that they take.
Heartsaver AED This course is for individuals who need to learn infant, child, and adult CPR and how to operate an Automatic External Defibrillator to respond to cardiac emergencies to fulfill their job requirements. These individuals include firefighters, police officers, lifeguards, airline personnel, and security guards, as well as people who work in areas where there are large numbers of people such as hotels, malls, restaurants, daycare or senior centers, fitness centers, factories, and theme parks. This class is also beneficial to those family members living with patients at high risk for sudden cardiac emergencies. Course length is approximately 2 1/2 hours.
