hello fellow nurses!

I just want to scout if any of you guys know any agency that offer BLS and CPR course.

Red cross, yup I know that. But are there any other? How much? When will it be? Thanks in advance.

lung center offers a BLS CPR course, but it costs P3,000 as compared to the BLS/CPR and SFA training given at the philippine national red cross which is only P1,100.

If you wish to take the program for your work in your country, then take it there. Otherwise you need to be aware that the programs offered there are not going to be valid in other countries.

Also in the US, the ACLS programs thru the Red Cross are no longer acceptd by the majority of the hospitals, they are all requiring programs that are done thru the American Heart Association.

Hey guys thanks for all the help. I just finished training at Red Cross Manila Chapter. Sadly they also have a 3 week backlog on releasing of certificates for First aid and CPR-BLS (Just like the EB3 visas!)

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE WORLD?!!

If you plan to take BLS, ACLS, PALS, please do so with an accredited/recognized by the American Heart Association. Unfortunately, the ones offered by the Red Cross is not one of them. When I worked in Saudi, they asked me to repeat it because it wasn't AHA accredited.
