Why Every Healthcare Professional Needs a Valid AHA BLS Card

In the medical field, a crisis can happen at any moment. Whether you are in a hospital corridor or a patient’s living room, being "CPR Certified" isn't enough—you need to be "BLS Trained." This blog post discusses why employers specifically look for the American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support certification.

We cover the critical components taught in our BLS course, including high-quality chest compressions, the "Chain of Survival," and the effective use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). We also address the common myth that online-only CPR cards are sufficient; most Florida employers require the in-person skills checkoff that CDR provides. Learn how staying current with your BLS certification not only makes you a safer provider but also a more employable one.
