Who pays for CPR?

Published

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.

Ours in done in-house and the facility pays my hourly wage while I attend the class.

Someone told me I could get recertified online so I checked it out and it looks ok. They are charging the same my facility is charging. It just irks me to have to pay when I never have before. At one time they had someone who worked in the facility to do it and they still charged us. My daughter is an RN and she teaches CPR occasionally and doesn't charge any thing. She doesn't live in this area tho. How about this?? http://www.procpr.org

Everywhere I have worked before has paid for the CPR certification, and paid me my hourly wage as well for time spent taking the class.

I would look close at policies and procedures, and your state regulations. Some times the company will have put it in their policy to pay for it, but try to get away with not paying. I guess they aren't smart enough to read their own manual:chuckle
