PALS certification

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hey everyone,

I have my ACLS certification class tomorrow and Saturday and am currently looking into PALS certification as well. The search feature on the AHA site isn't working for me right now and so far everything I can find online list PALS as an online course. Is this true or do I need to keep looking for a place to take this class locally? Jacksonville, FL if anyone has any ideas, thanks!

PS - I'm super excited for an interview for an ER position on Monday!

I took my PALS from the same instructor as my ACLS. Why not ask your instructor tomorrow?

You can take it as a real course somewhere. It's not just online although I'm sure the online options are identical to the methods used for ACLS.

You can also ask your local EMS agency. Since all Paramedics are required to have ACLS and PALS for employment, most agencies typically teach those courses.

Guidelines changed effective this year so the online version may not yet be available. Ask your instructor
