Long story longer... HB 392 states all LTCF will be AED compliant and training must be hand on. BON states standards of care cpr training for all nurses every 3 yrs minimum no req for hands on. DADS mandates hand-on training to be compliant with HHSC regulations. JCAHO has started to training from online sources without hands on experiance as standard of care- with no skills evaluator to identify ability, no proof of skill. SO yes there are Texas rules and regulations governing CPR. If you work in Long Term Care the law is hands on only, if Hospital you fall under JCAHO regs (most likely) and no final ruling, BON all nurses must have CPR every 3 years as a standard of care. I know the BON does not ask to see it, but if you get into a CPR situation and flub it- you may lose your license...

I need to renew my CPR- talked to someone who does a course. He said the online courses are not accepted by TX BON even if your place of employment accepts it. He said you MUST do a 'hands on' part of any course.
What have you encountered? thx
