Dear Einstein Student:
Please arrive on time as it will be difficult for late students to catch up once we start. Students are expected to attend and participate in the entire course.
This course covers two requirements. Bleed Control and BLS Provider (CPR)
The first hour you will learn how to help someone who has a life threatening bleed by learning some simple bandaging skills and how to use a torniquet properly.
The second portion is two hours and the BLS Heartcode Skill Check session is designed to evaluate your ability to function as both a team member and a team leader in either an in-hospital or an out-of-hospital setting. Because the BLS Heartcode Skill Check covers extensive material in a short time, you will need to prepare for the course beforehand.
You should prepare for the course by doing the following:
Complete the BLS Heartcode Online Part 1 prior to attending the skill session. Please bring the completion certificate with you to the course.
- The resuscitation scenarios require that your BLS skills and knowledge are current. You will be tested on 1-rescuer adult CPR and AED skills at the beginning of the ACLS Provider Course. You must know this in advance, since you will not be taught how to do CPR or how to use an AED.
- Do NOT complete the pre-work more than 60 days prior to the class. The scores are only good for 60 days otherwise you will have to do it over.
What to Bring and What to Wear
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing to class. You will be practicing skills that require you to work on your hands and knees, and the course requires bending, standing, and lifting. If you have any physical condition that might prevent you from engaging in these activities, please tell an instructor. The instructor may be able to adjust the equipment if you have back, knee, or hip problems.
We look forward to welcoming you. If you have any questions about the course, please call me at 718-920-2579, or via email to: CPRTraining@montefiore.org.
REFUND POLICY: Cancellations or transfer requests must be requested in writing via email to: LearningNetwork@montefiore.org or CPRTraining@montefiore.org and must be received 5 business days before the course (business days are defined as Monday-Friday, 7:30a-4:00p). There will be neither a refund issued nor credit given for less than 3 business day notice and no-shows.
