My Story

Hi, I'm A.D.

ICU nurse, CVICU staff nurse, unit-based educator, and the person behind every class at Pulse Check Training.

My Story

I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a Bachelor's in Biology in 2019, then completed Mercer University's Accelerated BSN program in 2020. I started my nursing career in the Trauma ICU at Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center before transitioning to the Cardiovascular ICU at Piedmont Atlanta, where I now work as a CVICU staff nurse and unit-based educator.

Through precepting and teaching cardiac device classes, I discovered my passion for education and helping clinicians feel confident, prepared, and supported. I'm currently earning my MSN in Nursing Education at Capella University, with an anticipated graduation of December 2026, and bringing that educator mindset into every class I teach.

I'm a proud Ghanaian-American, a mom to two boy cats, and I really love eggs. Education should feel supportive, not stressful — and that's exactly what Pulse Check Training is about.

"Education should feel supportive, not stressful — that's exactly what Pulse Check Training is about."

— AD, Founder & Lead Instructor

Supportive

Education should feel encouraging, not stressful. Every class is designed to build confidence, not anxiety.

Clinical

Real ICU experience informs every lesson. You learn from someone who has used these skills at the bedside.

Prepared

You leave every class knowing exactly what to do in an emergency — no guessing, no hesitation.

Ready to learn from someone who's been there?

Every class I teach is built on real clinical experience and a genuine belief that you can do this. Let's get you certified.

Common Questions

Questions Before You Book

Classes & Certification

All courses follow American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. Upon successful completion you receive an official AHA eCard — a digital certification card accepted by hospitals, clinics, and employers nationwide.

AHA BLS and Heartsaver certifications are valid for two years. I recommend scheduling your renewal a few weeks before expiration so there is no gap in your credentials.

In-person classes cover all didactic and skills content on-site — ideal for groups of three or more. Blended learning (HeartCode®) lets you complete the online cognitive portion at your own pace, then come to a hands-on skills session to finish. Blended students must email their module completion certificate before the skills session.

Working With Me

My courses are built for healthcare professionals — nurses, paramedics, medical assistants, physicians, and allied health staff. That said, anyone who wants rigorous, clinically grounded CPR training is welcome. I teach the way I would want to be taught: clear, supportive, and rooted in real critical care experience.

Yes. Private group training is available on-site at your location — hospitals, clinics, offices, or community spaces. Reach out through the contact page and I will put together a custom quote based on group size and course type.

I am reachable by email after every class. If something did not click during the session or you want to talk through a scenario, just send a message. Education does not stop when the class ends.

Still have questions? I am happy to answer before you commit to anything.
