About this Course: This course is designed for the Registered Nurse or Patient Care Technician to review and practice early recognition and management of patients requiring BLS interventions using AHA guidelines prior to code team arrival. Participants will recognize and assume necessary roles in a code situation.  Using a patient simulation, participates will be immersed in a real life environment with hand on practice. This course will only review basic BLS concepts, no ACLS concepts.
