N479 Professional Activity Evaluation Form

Your Name: Morgan Desmidt Date of Activity: 10/17/18 Faculty name: Rajni Parmar

Describe the community service/professional activity/s you attended or participated with (be

specific about the purpose and your role):

For my professional activity, I decided to take an Advance Cardiac Life Support class. This class

involved preparing for the class by reading a book on ACLS, taking a pretest to ensure you were

prepared enough for the course, and taking an in person class. The class involved learning about

the adult algorithms for bradycardia, tachycardia, and cardiac arrest, stroke protocols,

establishing airways, basic life support review, and identifying cardiac rhythms. The class was

hands on and we had the opportunity to practice with mannequins. Lastly, the class involved a

test at the end that ensured we were properly educated on ACLS and we received a certification

upon passing the test.

Where was this held and what was was program/activity length?

The program was held at Eclipse CPR Training. It was an eight hour activity.

Discuss the value of this experience to you (be specific).

I found this to be an extremely valuable experience. I want to be an ICU nurse and I know it is

necessary to have this certification if you want to work in the ICU. After the class, I feel much

more confident in my knowledge and feel that I could better respond in these types of situations.

I also feel that it will make me a more competitive candidate as I apply for jobs in the future, so I

am very glad that I got certified before applying.

Would you recommend this specific communnity/professional experience in the future; why or
why not? (Describe)
I would definitely recommend this professional experience to anyone who wants to work in the

ICU. As I mentioned, I feel much more prepared to handle critical situations and feel that I will

be a much more attractive applicant as I apply. The class was enjoyable and I found it very

interesting and engaging.
