Yes, it will look good on your resume. Especially for jobs that require ACLS. Shows initiative on your part. If you are considering working in Peds, PALS might be a good idea. I got both of them to better my resume and I bring up the subject when interviewing.

Thanks caliotter3,
I'm moving to Newark and I've heard that new Grads are having a difficult time finding job. So I'm doing anything I can to stand out.

The best thing a student can do is to job hunt while they are in school at their clinical placements. There are lots of students who have a job promised before they graduate by getting in good with their preceptors. This strategy was not widely discussed when I was in school, and I didn't quite make the connection although classmates of mine were landing jobs left and right.
