New Grad

I will be graduating this December and I was wondering what certifications I should get as a new grad RN? I live in California and want to get into Peds hopefully, I’m planning to get my ACLS and PALS, but wanted to know some other recommendations for general nursing and for peds nursing.

Thanks!

    Both of them are expensive, and easier to pass once you have some experience under your belt. You can list them as goals on your resume; most employers pay for the classes if they are required for your area when you get hired.

    TNCC and ENPC are good in ER, and just a good general assessment algorythm learning tool.

    Having a basic EKG reading course never hurts.

    Congrats on graduating soon, and Good Luck!

    @Suzie ACLS and PALS arent too bad if you really want to do them go for it. They are not hard to pass, they ARE expensive. Any hospital you get into will pay for them though so its really up to you. Do not add them as "goals" on your resume lol.

    Yeah, looking back at it, you're right. Don't put it as goals. SMH
