At Northwest Pulse CPR, we believe learning how to save a life should feel empowering, hands-on, and even a little fun! Based in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, we proudly serve the greater Chicagoland area with high-quality CPR and first aid training rooted in real healthcare experience.

Northwest Pulse CPR was founded by Crystal Magaña, a registered nurse with years of experience in hospitals, long-term care, and home health. She has responded to real-life emergencies and knows firsthand how important it is to stay calm, act quickly, and think clearly. That experience shapes the way we teach every class.

Crystal began teaching CPR to school staff in 2020 while working as a school nurse. Her passion for helping others feel confident in an emergency setting quickly grew from there, leading to the creation of Northwest Pulse CPR.

All of our courses are certified through the American Heart Association and are designed to be clear, supportive, and easy to follow. Whether you're a healthcare provider, teacher, parent, or caregiver, our goal is to help you feel prepared to act when it truly counts.
