Acls

Published

I was just ACLS trained and will now have much more responsibility, which is fine. But the way they did the class....they whizzed us through it so fast we really didnt learn much. I am not comfortable holding such a creditation knowing I am expected to know more than I really do. We all left there feeling like we lost out. Is there anywhere online to do practice tests and study?

Did you purchase the ACLS provider manual? It is good reference material. We laminated the algorithims and placed them with the crash carts. Anyone can read - even under stress! Remember, no one was born knowing this stuff.

Do you really have time to stop and read that? You have seconds that develop into minutes. You have to know what to do and act. It is a good idea to constantly review though.

I checked ACLS.net and it has finally been updated to the new guidelines.

But nothing replaces the manual and the pretest.

The pretest is alot like the post test....

I am an ACLS instructor and preparation is the key to not being overwhelmed in ACLS

Good Luck!
