I am a nurse consultant for a government agency. They weren't going to pay for my recert (I do no hands on care) but I convinced them that it was in their best interest to keep me up to speed. I recert now at another agency with other nurses...I am the only RN at my agency.
When I was an RN case manager for an insurance company, I had to pay for my own recerts. What I did was call friends who worked at hospitals who then included me in their regular class as a favor.
When I was the SDC at a LTC it was mandatory for all nurses to be certified in CPR. Since it was the rule, the company had to pay...of course I am a cheap Yankee and called around. Our ambulance company had a teacher who came for free...it was the best CPR class I ever had.
The company I work for now won't pay for it because it isn't mandatory to have a current CPR card...ridiculous.
Call your local fire department...chances are they will provide you with a teacher.
it is the nurses responsiblity to keep up on her licensure and certification. it is an option for a facility to pay for cpr not an obligation. some will provide the classes but charge a fee because they have to use outside people to conduct the class, some have in house staff that is trained to give cpr classes and will offer it for free it all depends.:)
the facility i'm working in will not pay for renewing cpr certification. i've never had to pay before. just wondering how other facilites handle this.
