Ursuline College is an early adopter of a new program aimed at improving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The College’s Breen School of Nursing and Health Professions will be one of the first nursing programs in the country – and the only program in Northern Ohio – to adopt a new educational program to ensure competency in CPR.
The National League for Nursing selected the Breen School as Change Agent for the Resuscitation Quality Improvement® (RQI®) program to ensure that students maintain a high level of competency in patient resuscitation. RQI®’s digital approach helps nursing students achieve sustained mastery of high-quality CPR skills and verified competence through short, quarterly practice and review sessions.
