ACLS Certification

[carsonya]

Hi, I am a senior nursing student and was curious if it was better to get ACLS certified through an online website or a hospital? Can you become ACLS certified as a nursing student? I would like to have this completed and on my resume before I apply for jobs. Thanks!!:redbeathe

again, i think your time and money would be better spent elsewhere than on acls. unless you're hoping to meet a hiring manager in acls class -- which isn't likely.

yes i agree also but was just wondering because many hospital and other rn postings i have seen have been saying "acls required" or acls preferred" so i wasn't sure if it would hurt me not having it.

thank you.
