HLTAID015 Renewal: Book Your Advanced Resuscitation Refresher
Rostered on again next week, and your HLTAID015 is about to lapse. Is it actually too late to book a HLTAID015 renewal that fits around your shifts, instead of costing you one of the few days off you get? If you’re an ICU or ED nurse, a paramedic, or working retrieval, you already know the […]
