Hi! I am new to washington. I am an lpn. I have been having problems finding a CPR class and have seen the ones offered on line. Does any one know if these on line classess are acceptable?

I think you need to be in a class room class because you have to demo on a dummmy.

You can enter your zip code to find a Red Cross chapter near by:

Here's one I got for Seattle:

You can also contact the American Heart Association:

Be sure to find out if you need the CPR for Health professionals. That's the one they recommended I take for RN school.
