Do you want to work in critical care transports in an ambulance or on a helicopter? If so, the PHRN course is for you! Pennsylvania requires RNs who want to do any of the above to be certified as a PHRN.
The PHRN is designed to teach registered nurses to function as advanced life support care providers in the prehospital environment and give them an introduction to critical care transport. Classes are held at the George E. Moerkirk Emergency Medicine Institute of LVHN, located on the ground floor at 2100 Mack Blvd., Allentown, Pennsylvania. Classroom instruction includes ACLS, PALS and PHTLS courses.
Classroom instruction begins on January 6, 2026, and runs to June 30, 2026. Class is conducted on Tuesdays from 8 a.m.-2 p.m.
Classes consist of lectures and frequent workshops. This complete training program includes clinical and field experiences provided by LVHN and selected local ambulance corps.
To successfully complete the course, students must:
- Complete their classwork
- Pass the field internship
- Pass the EMT basic practical test (administered by the Eastern PA EMS Council), unless you are already certified as an EMT
- Pass the National Registry written assessment examination
