Life Support Course for Nurses: beyond competency training

The Life Support Course for Nurses (LSCN) equips nurses with the resuscitation skills needed to be first responders in in-hospital cardiac arrests. Previous published articles on the LSCN were mainly focused on the development of the LSCN in Singapore, as well as nurses’ confidence level, defibrillation experience and outcomes, the perceived barriers faced by nurses and the usefulness of the course. This paper highlights the importance of two key learning methodologies in the LSCN: deep learning and reflection.
