   destin3g99 replied to Info(RN)matics's topic in Med-Surg

14. ACLS in telemetry or intermediate care units

    destin3g99 replied to cardiacnurse9063's topic in Cardiac

    I'm not sure what our percentage was. It varied widely. At times there was only one RN on the floor (15 beds) with all LPNs and new RN grads. RNs got ACLS as soon as the class roled around again. Whoever was charge nurse for the shift had to resp...
