ACLS
Trusted by Nurses and Paramedics
Certification and renewal for nurses, paramedics, and providers who manage critical adult cardiovascular emergencies.
ACLS is due every two years, whether life let you notice or not. Your employer won't wait, and neither will the code you're trusted to run. Let's get it handled before it sneaks up.
ACLS is where it stops being CPR and becomes a code. Rhythms to read, drugs to push, a room full of people waiting on your call. It's a lot the first time. So hold onto this: Sam has run more of these than he can count. What feels like a lot to you is a normal call for him. He'll teach you to read the monitor the way he actually reads it, until it clicks.

You'll walk out able to run it, not just able to pass it. That's the only difference that matters when the monitor's alarming.
