11.2 CPR Requirements

Students admitted to the BSN program at University of Northwestern - St. Paul must comply with CPR certification requirements before acceptance into the program and BLS certification must be maintained throughout the program course of study. Specifically, students are required to provide documentation of valid current BLS certification from The American Heart Association’s Basic Life Support (BLS), or American Red Cross BLS for Healthcare. Failure to meet this requirement may result in the student being dropped from the nursing course(s). If a student misses clinical due to lack of this documentation, a clinical absence must be made up with the student accountable for costs.
