CPR certification for facility

Does your LTC facility provide CPR certification classes for staff nurses or are your required to do that on your own time? I just found out that our facility has been providing Heartsaver CPR to staff nurses, that is the certification intended for non-healthcare professionals that need just basic CPR- like teachers, daycare providers, etc. I don't want to cause a problem and make my co-workers responsible for finding their own certification classes at the expense of their own time and money, but I don't think it's good to have nurses in the facility with less than BLS level skills and training. Just wondering what other facilities require and/or provide.

    At my facility, we are required to have healthcare provider CPR training w/AED, as well as a BLS certificate. I noticed, though, that back when I was applying, different places required different things, though most did want what I had and not less. If it bothers you, just make sure you have what you feel you need.

    My facility pays for it. We've had local EMS come in to do the class and the last time it was a hospice agency's educator who did it for us. Not sure if they charged the facility or did it for a kick back type of thing and just charged for the cards.

    I've always had the local ambulance company come in to do the training. If we make it mandatory, we pay for it.
