ACLS

[marpe9]

Hi all.

I have questions regarding ACLS.

How does it work?

What does the 2 day course consist of?

For the mega code, are we assigned a specific arrhythmia or is it like walking into a patient room, finding them unresponsive and beginning from there?

I'm scheduled to take the course next month and I've been reading through the AHA textbook.

I am very nervous as I am a new nurse and have no experience with the above material.

Just to reassure you, you actually have to try hard to fail an ACLS course. Prior to doing it I did an online practice with acls-algorithms because I was so nervous about it but you really don't have to. It cheap and I thought his videos were cool and has awesome dramatic music and forces you to think quickly. Check out the free area first to see if you like it. Go to videos..megacode series. But honestly as long as you read the book for the written quiz and follow along with the instructors they will help you pass.
