I'm going for ACLS renewal on Tuesday. I'm going with two of the doctors but not worried. One is soooo smart and really does know everything but is so sweet and helpful and never makes anyone feel dumb for asking questions and takes all the time in the world to answer any question. The other doctor is like me, only memorizes the strips and within two days they are all forgotten. I can pick out a quote "normal" rhythm, an abnormal rhythm and a deadly rhythm but the blocks and such leave my mind as soon as I pass. I thought I was going alone and then one day one of the doctors said to me "I'm so glad you're going, I'll have someone to each lunch with." I thought why are they going? Then I realized one is a hospitalist and one is an ER doctor and that's why they have to be ACLS Certified. I have to because I do charge. Anyway I'm getting way off subject here.
In looking for examples of strips to bone up for Tuesday...I found this awesome ACLS renewal website. It's a total freebie. Some smart nurse doing us all a favor. Enjoy!
