ACLS TRAINING

Currently working as a telephone triage nurse and want to apply within the same healthcare system for an urgent care position.

I have my BLS but do not have my ACLS, the UC position states it requires ACLS.

I want to get my resume in, do I submit it without the training? What is the usual process?

Do employers provide the training or would it increase my chances of getting this position if I have it done first? I found a highly accredited organization that offers this class with upcoming classes, do I somehow indicate that I will be obtaining this certification?

    Do you have any other acute care experience? If not, having ACLS might indicate you have some knowledge of rhythms. You may be able "sell" it in a cover letter to demonstrate interest.

    Beyond that, I think most employers will just train you. The class is two days... renewals are one day.... so having the certification before hire only saves the employer one day of wages. It's probably a drop in the bucket compared to other onboarding expenses. Most of my local organizations just requires ACLS within 6 months of hire, not necessarily at application.

    Good luck!
