Hi, I’m Jer. As a Registered Nurse with hands-on experience across various critical healthcare settings—including my current work in acute hospital environments—I know how vital calm, confident execution is during a cardiac emergency.

My goal with Pump the Heart is to remove the stress and intimidation from certification. Whether you're a clinical professional needing ACLS renewal or a corporate team learning CPR for the first time, our classes provide practical, real-world instruction tailored to your environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your certification cards officially recognized?

Yes. Pump the Heart is an authorized provider of American Heart Association (AHA) courses. You will receive your official AHA eCard (BLS, ACLS, or HeartSaver) meeting all employer and licensing requirements.

How are your ACLS classes different from others?

Many ACLS courses feel rushed and overly focused on rote memorization. Our classes are taught by RNs with real acute-care experience, designed to help you walk away with true clinical confidence. Thus, you will have the knowledge to know which medications to push and when during a real-world code response.

When will I receive my eCard after finishing?

AHA course completion eCards are typically processed and issued the same day of your class so you never have to worry about compliance gaps at work.

Do you provide on-site training for local clinics?

Yes! We specialize in bringing training directly to local Folsom and Sacramento facilities, working around your shift changes. Ask about our group discounts for classes of 10 or more!
