CPR and Other Certifications

All students must have a current BLS CPR certification (issued by American Heart Association only!) before entering the clinical experiences. The FNU Clinical Rotations Manager may be able to schedule a CPR certification class for students. However, if a certification class cannot be scheduled (or a student cannot attend the class), the student is responsible for obtaining CPR certification in the community. CPR certification renewals are the responsibility of the student. Certification must be renewed a month prior to date of expiration. The cost is borne by the student.

OSHA/HIV, Domestic Violence, HIPAA and Prevention of Medical Errors certifications must be obtained prior to entering the clinical practicum and will be provided concurrent with the core curriculum. The cost is borne by the student.
