I'm about to start in the ER in a few weeks, so I have to get my ACLS and PALS. Can we take these off our taxes as a deduction etc?

usually your employer pays for BLS/PAL/ACLS certifications. Usually they say something like must obtain ACLS & PALS within 6 months of hire.

My employer isn't doing that. Idk if they will next year, but now to start off, they arent. So, I need to know if it can be tax deductible

That would fall under work-related education expense required by your employer and be a valid itemized deduction.
