Legal Question in Health Care Law in Illinois

I am RN not CPR certified, working in non -clinical setting for large hospital. Job description does not require CPR cert, manager will not pay for training, but am told I should provide CPR if needed while at work (200 employees in offices.) Am I covered under good Samaritin Act to do CPR?
