As a reminder, all licensees, co-licensees, administrators, shift caregivers/managers, and resident managers must have their CPR and first aid certification prior to providing care.
Substitute caregivers must have their certification within 30 days of hire. If you're in Multnomah County, caregivers need to submit first aid/CPR certification with the caregiver application if the caregiver will be working alone.
CPR and First Aid certification must be provided by or meet the standards of the American Heart Association or Red Cross (also American Safety and Health Institute, or MEDIC First Aid in Multnomah County) and have an in-person skills component if part of the training is online (it cannot be fully online).
After your first year of licensure, your first Aid/CPR certification can count for up to two continuing education hours each or 4 CEs total (this does not apply in Multnomah County). Please check with your local licensing office to verify acceptance of the CE credits.
