Admissions
CPR Certification
CPR Certification is a requirement for ALL students in Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing program. All incoming students are required to be CPR certified. Evidence of current CPR Certification; i.e., copy of CPR card indicating expiration date is required of all students by the first day of class each semester. Certification must then be kept current for the duration of the program.
We call attention to this requirement to allow students time to complete their CPR certification if this requirement has not already been completed. If students need to be re-certified, please do so immediately. Students will not be permitted to attend any clinical experiences without having a current CPR certification. Failure to do so will count as an unexcused absence.
The American Heart Association Basic Life Support for Health Care Professionals is the only CPR course approved and accepted by the school of nursing and Lourdes Health System.
Please contact the American Heart Association at 877-242-4277 or visit www.heart.org for details.
