ACLS Certification 2011

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows if the AHA has an updated ACLS review book with CD rom. I wanted to know because I have checked on several websites like amazon.com and they have an outdated book from 2006. Please if someone can guide me in the right direction; I would appreciate it. I have been a nurse for almost 8 months working on a Short Stay Unit and I want to obtain ACLS certification. Thanks ;)

    chare Thanks..... Wow ACLS June - July 2011. I was wondering because I was going to purchase the book and go over it but I wasn't sure to get the current book from the AHA since its so old. Thanks for your help.

    The new books are published, and effective June 1,2011 all classes will follow the new guidlines and will require the new books! I took my class today and had the old book (due to the confusion we were allowed to attempt the class), but was lucky enough to have found this website prior to my class: http://acls-algorighms.com. EXCELLENT site that has all the new guidelines, multiple practice megacodes, and practice tests. For a fee of $7.95 you can get a 2 week membership that gave me enough "cram-time" to study all the new guidlines! I passed....thought I'd pass on the useful info!

    I wouldn't worry too much about the 2011 guidelines as there are only 2 or 3 changes from the 2008 guideline. The ACLS instructor will most likely have both versions of the book and point out the difference between the two.

    My ACLS/PALS instructor also had the 2011 mini-ACLS book for sale and even gave away the few 2008 mini books he had available.
