N479 Professional Activity Evaluation Form

Your Name: Bailee Thompson Date of Activity: 11/2/2020 Faculty name: Darlene

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

I participated in an Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification course as a student. I

decided to do this professional activity since I was received a job in an ICU and it is a

requirement of employment.

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

This certification course was held at Eclipse CPR Training Center. The course was scheduled for

six hours of in class time and had a few hours of pre-work and quizzes to complete before

arriving.

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

This course helped me understand my role as a future nurse in a code situation. I got the chance

to learn and practice interpreting EKGs and how to take care of a patient that presents with

different scenarios using the American Heart Association flow charts. I feel confident that the

next time a code situation presents itself to me I will be able to be a contributing member of the

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

From here on out, I will strive to maintain my ACLS certification since I hope to remain within

high acuity settings. With being a future CVICU nurse, I know I will be in code situations and

will use the information when necessary.

Would you recommend this specific communnity/professional experience in the future; why or

why not? (Describe)

I would definitely recommend this professional activity to anyone who is interested in getting a

job in a high acuity setting. This particular place and instructor were also engaging and made it

all a great experience.
