N479 Professional Activity Evaluation Form

Your Name: Annie Giang Date of Activity: 02/04/2020 Faculty name: Mark, Instructor

Describe the community service/professional activity/s you attended or participated with (be
specific about the purpose and your role):

I attended an Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) class with six other nursing

students that was conducted by Eclipse CPR. We had to review EKG, pharmacology, and

application of cardiac life support content take a pre-test prior to taking the class and have a

passing score of 70% or above. The purpose of this activity was to gain more knowledge of life

support and to obtain my ACLS certification. My role was to be a student in the class and now to

apply this knowledge in the healthcare setting.

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

The ACLS class was held at the Eclipse CPR office on Speedway Blvd. The activity

length was a total of eight hours. This time included the time to review the content prior to class,

taking the pretest, the class itself (5 hours), and completing the evaluation form.

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

This experience was very valuable to me because I have the knowledge to assist during a

code. I was able to learn more about the steps during a code which will help me be an effective

team member during a code. I also know what the protocol is, what to expect during a code, and

the importance of close-loop communication.

How would you continue to use this experience throughout your nursing career?

I will use this experience throughout my nursing career when I am involved in a code. I

will utilize my skills learned in this class to be an effective team member in a code. I will also

use my skills to help any pedestrians I see who shows signs of cardiac arrest. The information of

the ACLS class was very applicable because we also learned the purposes of medications that are

given and the pathophysiology behind medication administration.

Would you recommend this specific communnity/professional experience in the future; why or
why not? (Describe)

I would recommend this professional experience in the future. This is very useful

information when working in healthcare. We were informed in our class that Tucson’s survival

rate for cardiac arrest patients are 6%. With more people educated on how to identify cardiac

arrest and taking the right measures, we can hopefully increase the survival rate.
