FAQ
PALS questions from Rancho Cucamonga clinicians
Where is the PALS class held in Rancho Cucamonga?
At our classroom at 10788 Civic Center Dr., #240 in Rancho Cucamonga. Directions and a map are on the location page, and PALS class dates are on the booking calendar.
I care for children at Loma Linda University Medical Center or in a Kaiser Permanente emergency department. Is this the right course?
If your unit asks for an American Heart Association PALS Provider card, yes. This is the AHA PALS Provider course with a same-day eCard. We are not affiliated with either health system, so your manager or education department has the final word.
Is PALS the same as NRP?
No. NRP, the Neonatal Resuscitation Program, covers newborns at delivery and is a separate course. PALS covers infants and children. Many NICU nurses hold both, and your unit decides which you need.
Do I get my PALS eCard the same day?
Yes. Once you pass the skills test and the written exam, your AHA PALS Provider eCard is issued the same day. It is valid for 2 years.
Can I take PALS and ACLS together?
Yes. The ACLS and PALS class covers both provider courses on the same class day, for staff who care for adults and children. Your BLS card should already be current.
What if I need to change my class date?
Move your class free with at least 24 hours notice, and get a full refund if you cancel more than 48 hours before class. If you do not pass the skills test, you get one free retest within 30 days. And if your employer does not accept the card, you get your money back.
