Special Certifications


New grad finally found a PT job. However I am wondering what are some certifications it would be helpful to persue in order to make myself more apealing to employers. I am currently registered to take the ACLS course and interested in the CCRN but not sure if there are better ones to get.

ACLS is good; I think the CCRN requires a certain number of patient contact hours before you can sit for the exam.

Congratulation on your new career! My suggestion would be to settle in to your new job and when you find a field you like, the go for the certification. ACLS is always a plus
