Has anyone taken a AHA ACLS certification online? And recommends any? 

Hi! Yes I took ACLS through AHA. It took me around 4 hours. I will say though their website has been down a few days and I haven't been able to get my certificate yet. Not sure where else to get it but I'd recommend looking elsewhere since our deadline is tomorrow.

Can you still get ACLS online only without going in for the hands-on portion? I thought that was originally just a covid thing

Not as far as I know. I had to do online followed by in person.

Thank you for the reply, yes the website has been up and down lately. ?

I believe you are correct. I misread an initial ACLS certification course as being completely online only but there was small print of the required in-person skills portion. Which is expected but I almost purchased it without reading carefully because the business was in Southern California. ?

How did you all upload your EKG cert? Did you put it in the certifications section or just put it on your resume? I didn't put it in the certifications as it was just a class through Project Heartbeat. 

Are we allowed to edit our apps before tomorrow if already submitted?

Thanks

Anyone know if we are supposed to attach a letter of recommendation to the application? Or is there somewhere we can submit that later on?

I'm guessing you can upload it on the snapshot survey.

Does anyone know how we can expect to receive the snapshot survey? Is it email or through the portal? Thank you!

Has anyone received the snapshot survey?

No not yet . . . but someone told me that everyone who applied will receive the snapshot survey? Is that correct?  Or only people chosen to interview will receive a snapshot survey?
