Mandatory First Aid and BLS Training for Nursing and PSW Students at St. Lawrence College (Kingston)
If you are enrolled in the Nursing or Personal Support Worker (PSW) programs at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, completing Standard First Aid and CPR Level C with Basic Life Support (BLS) is not just a recommendation—it is a program requirement.
Holmes Medical Training offers WSIB-approved training designed specifically for students in healthcare programs. These certifications are essential for clinical placement, graduation, and future employment in hospitals, long-term care homes, and other medical settings.
What Certifications Do You Need?
St. Lawrence College students in Nursing and PSW programs are required to complete:
-
Standard First Aid
-
CPR Level C
-
Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers
Without a valid certification, you cannot participate in clinical placements or continue in your program.
CPR Level C vs. BLS
CPR Level C covers resuscitation techniques for adults, children, and infants, including two-person CPR and AED use.
Basic Life Support (BLS) is more advanced and specifically designed for healthcare workers. It includes high-quality CPR, airway management, team response, and handling cardiac arrest scenarios in clinical settings.
Both certifications are required because they reflect the real responsibilities you will face during placements and in your future role in healthcare.
