Certificates

[Nica-RN]

As a foreign nurse, who has now the RN license (Florida) it seems to be helpful to add some certificates or courses to an resume for getting an employment.

What do you suggest to have done (CPR?, BCLS??) or which courses are helpful and can be added to an internet profile. Unfortunately, I just have a diploma in nursing, it seems like at least BSN degrees are required everywhere.

Online only courses with out in-person skill checks are often not accepted. (I'm pretty sure the company you are working with has no in person skills test. A colleague used them and when personnel files were audited pre-accrediting agency review she was suspended pending completing an AHA course. Another branch was cited for employees using other than an AHA authorized provider, exceptions made for Red Cross as long as it was the professional rescuer course)

The standard is American Heart Association. You can go to their website to find authorized training centers.

Will do so, it is never wrong to learn this by my hands. Also, it this internet course it is described that detailed that I am meanwhile will be able to perform whenever needed, every step is described. They also recommend to have on the key this small kit with gloves and mask, good or not? Have you ever used such a kit?
