N479 Professional Activity Evaluation Form

Your Name: Taylor Romero Date of Activity: 11/16 Faculty name: Beverly Bias
Describe the community service/professional activity/s you attended or participated with
(be specific about the purpose and your role):
The professional activity I participated in was advanced cardiac life support (ACLS)
certification.

Where was this held and what was was program/activity length?
This program was held at Eclipse CPR in Tucson, AZ. The actual class was 6 hours long and the
preparation work/pre-test time totaled 2 hours in length.

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

I believe that this experience was valuable to me because it is my goal to be a nurse in an intensive
care unit. ACLS is not only beneficial for nurses working in the ICU but it is required of all nurses
that work in high acuity. This class further advanced my knowledge of rhythm analysis and
assessment of different emergency situations. I now know exactly what interventions to implement
and in what order for cardiac arrest, symptomatic tachycardia, symptomatic bradycardia, stroke,
and more.

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

why or why not? (Describe)
I would recommend this class to all new nurses because it is very informative and beneficial to
know regardless of the type of unit you are working on. I would further encourage nursing
students that are interest in emergency and ICU nursing because it not only will look good on a
resume but also may help with situational questions during interviews.
