winterallsummer Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 If so, where, under health related training? Or what? Thanks in advance and good luck to all other applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegro Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Yep, but only if it is still valid. Expired CPR certifications shouldn't be listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningice0730 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Mine doesn't necessarily "expire" - it just has a recommended renewal date (a year ago). Would that still technically be okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegro Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Technically, that would be expired. Most CPR certifications are only valid for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningice0730 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Gothca, thanks. I will take it off then just in case :( ...was hoping I would have that going for me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMSArtist Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 or you could go get it again, it's usually an 8 hour class offered fairly often... might help, might not make a difference, but it might be a relatively low investment application bump.

Hemegroup Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Gothca, thanks. I will take it off then just in case :( ...was hoping I would have that going for me lol You should always be CPR certified, for the rest of your life. No offense, but I'm surprised you didn't think to keep it current if only for the sake of being able to list it on your application. You always want to be the best you can be, presentation wise, or even just be ready for the chance of being such. One other thing ... while your excitement about applying for PA school is understandable, you're not accepted yet and you're nowhere near being a PA ... so you need to change your title here to pre-PA. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriarMedic Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm actually surprised CPR is not required by all schools for admission. I've seen it required for some. I can't think of any hospital patient care position that doesn't require CPR as part of their job description. To think that I'll have to learn CPR with my classmates in PA school is sad.

It'll be an easy day to rest your brain? Though there are probably reasons for the group re-cert from an administrative standpoint. They probably want everybody to have the same cert date so that they don't have to worry about expired certs for clinicals... just my guess though.

NC-PA Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Should I do a CPR/AED or try to do one with First Aid as well? Also does it matter if it is just adults or peds as well? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 What you want is the American Heart Association one. That is the one that is required by most health care organizations. There are others, like American Red Cross, and the American Safety and Health Institute, but the AHA "BLS for Healthcare providers" is the one you want.

Also does it matter if it is just adults or peds as well?thanks When I got mine it was one course for cpr/aed and another one for first aid. I don't think you can go wrong with also doing first aid. I don't get what you mean by adults or peds. Your cpr course should teach you how to work with adults and children/babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmitty33 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I am certified for adult CPR/AED and first aid through the red cross. It is not CPR for the professional healthcare provider. Should I even include this in my application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
