Aceso’s AHA-Approved Basic Life Support class is important for all healthcare professionals - and it’s absolutely imperative for RNs of any type. Aceso offers courses designed by nurses, for nurses - our team is composed of highly-trained professionals that understand the importance of spreading this life-saving knowledge to other nurses training for certification.
This course will help to form your problem-solving skills and teach you to think quickly in the midst of an emergency. During an emergency, there is no time to waste.
Aceso’s BLS class offers the most up-to-date protocols and procedures, so you can be as prepared as possible when confronted with an emergency that calls for basic life support. After certification, you will be able to administer treatment to those in need and create positive patient outcomes.
