Please help,I'm trying to educate myself and get informed on updating my certificates

My clinicals, during school, were mainly at hospital. I am now working at an ALF and things are clearly different. I am trying to educate myself on ALF protocols and general ALF knowlege in nursing. Websites I have gone to through google all note to review certain chapters, yet I dont know where these chapters could be found.

Also, I am a couple months away from needing to renew my CPR certificate and basic First aide. My job does not pay for that and I am not sure where to go to get this updated. I was also told there are things a first year grad needs to complete such as alzheimers education and some others.

I wish there was somewhere that all this information would be laid out at. Where could I get this information?

Thanks for all the help!

    Some fire departments renew CPR, and they're not that expensive. As for the ALF- I'd look at their policy and procedure manuals, and learn their way of doing things :) Otherwise, google the topics and see what comes up- or ask the nursing sup/manager where she gets her info. :)

    Several places offer CPR and First Aid: Red Cross, American Heart Association, YMCA/YWCA/JCC, my NS offers classes (open to the public), and several local churches offer classes for the community. Hope that helps!

    There should be an educator at your facility. Ask her!!!

    Be careful where you get your CPR renewal, make sure it is for Health Care Providers.

    You will be wasting your money if you arrange to have it done at a fire department or elsewhere and then find out it is for lay people.

    Contact your local hospitals, they may offer the health provider class to non-employees for a fee.

    OP, can you specify your nationality? Your diction makes it sound like you might not be from the US, so these suggestions might not be helpful for you.

    If you are, of course, never mind this, and try the options that PPs have offered.
