Match your online BLS course to an Emerson visit
When should Emerson learners book AHA BLS Skills Only?
Skills Only is the hands-on part of a specific course, not a shorter renewal pathway available simply because you held a card before. Check the online course name and completion status before choosing an appointment.
| What you have | Book | Before the visit |
|---|---|---|
| No required online portion | Online + Skills | Complete the included online work |
| Required online portion completed | Skills Only | Keep completion evidence ready |
| Required online portion purchased from AHA | Skills Only | Finish online work first |
Same Day CPR gives Emerson healthcare providers a local AHA BLS skills-check option when their required online learning is already arranged. If an employer supplied your online course, check the completion record and call 888-840-5527 if the match is unclear.
Old Hook Road healthcare context
Hackensack Meridian Pascack Valley Medical Center lists its hospital in neighboring Westwood and rehabilitation services on Old Hook Road in Emerson. The local station is also on Old Hook Road, making clear addresses important when planning a visit.
These organizations are not presented as partners, customers or endorsers of Same Day CPR. For local nursing, medical, dental and therapy staff, the practical decision is to match the booking to the course actually requested for their role.
If you are a student with online learning already arranged through your program, check that it is the required matching portion before buying another course.
What happens after online completion?
Reserve a one-hour station slot for your BLS skills check. Follow the HeartCode/RQI manikin prompts and feedback to demonstrate the required hands-on skills. This is an in-person assessment, not an online-only certificate.
If you also need ACLS or PALS, make a separate booking for each course. Back-to-back one-hour slots can allow same-day completion when the calendar permits and each required online portion is complete.
Same Day CPR maintains its pass-rate guarantee, with feedback and assessment attempts supporting progress. Successful completion remains necessary before the official AHA eCard is issued the same day.
