Choose your Newark course and appointment
How can Newark nursing students choose the right AHA BLS course?
Check the course name before the date. If your paperwork requests BLS, do not select a different CPR course just because it also mentions an American Heart Association card.
- Find the exact course name on your placement instructions.
- Check the deadline for submitting the final card.
- Identify whether your online learning is already arranged.
- Select a visit that leaves time to finish online work beforehand.
- Keep your confirmation and online completion evidence accessible.
Same Day CPR helps Newark healthcare students complete official AHA BLS certification through online preparation and a self-paced station assessment.
Rutgers nursing education and local clinical preparation
Rutgers School of Nursing lists Newark among its New Jersey locations. For students preparing for a Newark-based course or clinical placement, certification belongs alongside the other items on the program’s current onboarding checklist.
Rutgers’ presence is local context, not proof of a partnership, referral agreement or approval of this station. Use your program’s current instructions rather than assuming all nursing cohorts share a course requirement or deadline.
The same practical approach helps CNAs, medical assistants and dental staff entering a new role: start with the actual credential request, not a broad search for any CPR certificate.
Online + Skills or Skills Only in Newark?
| Your starting point | Book | Before visiting |
|---|---|---|
| Initial or renewal, no online portion arranged | Online + Skills | Finish required online coursework |
| Matching AHA online portion completed | Skills Only | Keep completion evidence ready |
| Matching online portion bought from AHA | Skills Only | Complete it before the skills check |
An old BLS card does not automatically remove the online requirement. Call 888-840-5527 if you need help matching an online course you already have to a station appointment.

From skills check to same-day eCard
