BLS requirements for school and clinicals

School, program, and clinical-site rules can differ and can change. Use the current requirement connected to your own cohort, deadline, and placement.

University of Mount Saint VincentThe University’s current ABSN requirements list proof of CPR certification and include American Heart Association BLS for healthcare providers as one accepted option. The same page also lists an American Red Cross professional-rescuer option, so verify the requirement for your specific UMSV program or clinical site. Check the UMSV requirement.

Mercy University School of NursingMercy’s 2025–2026 pre-licensure handbook says students must maintain American Heart Association BLS certification throughout the nursing program and that Red Cross certification is not accepted. Confirm the current handbook and your CastleBranch deadline before booking. Check the Mercy requirement.

Other nursing and allied-health programsBring the exact wording from your school, employer, or clinical placement. Sutton will help you compare it with the available course before you reserve a class.

Questions students ask me

Which BLS class do I need for nursing school?

Many nursing and clinical programs ask for the American Heart Association BLS Provider course. Send the exact wording from your school, and Sutton will help you choose the right class.

How long is the BLS class?

The full instructor-led American Heart Association BLS Provider course runs approximately 4.5 hours including breaks. A renewal course is approximately four hours. HeartCode skills sessions are separate and scheduled according to the learner's completed online portion.

Where are classes held?

Individual classes are available in the Yonkers and Scarsdale area. Student cohorts can ask about a private date and suitable training space.

What if I also need First Aid?

I offer BLS plus First Aid together for $189 per person, so you cover both in one sitting.

How long is the card good for?

The American Heart Association BLS Provider eCard is generally valid for two years. Check the date on your card and your employer or school deadline when planning renewal.

Can Sutton help with ACLS or PALS?

Yes. ACLS and PALS are coordinated by request. Share the course, deadline, and location you need, and Sutton will confirm the available path.
