Current American Heart Association BLS for the healthcare provider certification is required upon entering the program and it must be valid for a minimum of 3 months post the start date of the program.
You must successfully obtain a New Jersey Registered Nurse License (not just the license number) by at least two weeks before the residency start date to enter into the program.
