If someone reliable can veryfy your hands on skills, you can take ACLS and PALS online at "www.aclsonline.us/"]ACLS Certification, Recertification & PALS Recertification." which worked fine with me. As more continuing education and mandatory inservices are online, it seems like a natural evolution. However some employers may have reservations.

Have you tried calling the hospitals in your area or even out of your area....depending how far you want to drive?

I live in Canada and to take ACLS it costs me $400 out of pocket. I call my Education Office at my old hospital in the States and they tell me, "Sure, you can take it here" and the cost is only $80. Combine a visit with the kids/grandkids and it is cheaper for me.
