I just got my license here in MS (passed boards last week after a 10 year break from nursing.) What part of MS are you in? We live on the coast.

I am looking for ACLS training as well! I see you can do it online, but that seems a bit dodgy to me. :D

Am here at Central MS, a lil north of Jackson. Been trying to think and do something whie waiting for my license. I bought a Booklet of ACLS over at ebay, hope to use them. been strating to read abit though. I had an ACLS training before fom my native country and used the AHA books from US. but i don't think they ill consider it here. You will try online?

Got your private msg! (Couldn't reply as I don't have enough posts here yet.)

I have not done my ACLS/PALS training yet, BUT..... I have talked with a guy from Acadian Ambulance back in December, and they offer training MUCH cheaper than the online versions.

Here is a link to a listing of training providers in MS:

I am in the middle of doing a reorientation to nursing program through Hinds Community College:

By the way, Congratulations on passing!!!!!

Am wondering if hospital employers pay for your acls or from your own pocket?

I am paying for my own to boost my chances of getting a job. I have heard of employers paying, though.
