title: Cost-effective resuscitation education.
abstract: Resuscitation education, offered by the American Heart Association, recently has expanded to include three pediatric courses. Nurse educators face internal and external constraints as they attempt to secure funding for these new programs. The Pediatric Resuscitation Course described in this article offers an innovative approach to programming and facilitates funding through the use of an integrated curriculum teaching format. This format reduces program cost without sacrificing valuable resuscitation education.
