Hi and need help finding a BLS course

Published

Hi,

I am new to this as I have just decided the time is right to return to work - post children. I have found a great RN refresher course I intend to register for. But, one of the pre-requiists is a current BLS health Care Provider Certificate. As I haven't worked for several years I do not have one. I have done the usual Red Crouse CPR courses so as not to become too useless but nothing aimed at Health Providers! Does any one know where I can take such a course in Browadrd county?

Thnak you for any ideas.

On the same note do you think they have a online CPR class. Just a thought.

I am not looking for an online course (although that would be more convenient). Having been out of the employment pool as long as I have, a face to face course would probably be best. I just can't find anything that doesn't say "current certificat a prerequisit".

Help.

The Red Cross has a course called "CPR for the Professional Rescuer" where they do CPR for the infant, child, and adult and also go through using AEDs. It counted towards my BCLS requirement for nursing school so maybe that class would work for you. The American Heart Association also has a similar class.

Call your local city and county fire departments. We teach BLS-HCP, ACLS,and PALS every weekend. We charge $60.00 for BLS-HCP.

Broward Community College offers BLS and ACLS. I'm not sure if they offer it at all three campuses, but I know they offer it at Central Campus in Davie, because I took it there. :)

Most hospitals education/nurse ed depts teach it as well considering almost everyone they employ has to have it.
