CPR Policy

  • Acceptable CPR certification courses:
    "Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers" through American Heart Association
    (this card covers you for 2 years; if you take the class the summer prior to starting the program, it will cover you through the entire program)
    or
    "CPR for the Professional Rescuer (CPR/FPR)" through American Red Cross
    (this card covers you for one year; if you take the class the summer prior to starting the program, you will need to recertify the following summer)
  • The School of Nursing must always have a copy of your most current CPR card. Your current certification must carry you through the entire academic year.
  • If your CPR card expires within the fall or spring, you must update the card and furnish a copy of the new card PRIOR to the start of that academic year.
  • Since cards may not be issued at the time of the class, and since it could take approximately 2 weeks for your card to be issued after completion of the course, it is important to sign up early for classes to meet our deadline.
