HeartCode PALS Parts 1 and 2 Online and In-Class PALS Course

The American Heart Association 2012 edition Heart Code PALS Online Part 1 is perfect for the experienced pediatric healthcare provider with savvy computer simulation skills and who has class time limitations. It is an appropriate option for the PALS Renewal Course. The online portion takes 6–12 hours. The Part 2 in-class Practical Evaluation for skills and team approach time is 3.5 hours. Because, at this time, our Seattle Children’s computers do not support the minimum strength of system, you need to have access to a personal or alternate work computer. At this time Seattle Children’s contract nurses will continue to register for the one-day PALS Renewal Course.

Date: Saturday Nov 2, 12:30 to 3:45 p.m.
