Try your local or school library. Mine had a bunch of ACLS related books.

Check if any libraries in your area have any books or videos about ACLS. The library at the community college in my area has several videos that are helpful especially if you are a visual learner. In addition, they may have books or study guides that present the information in a different or simpler manner. Good luck!

I am in the same boat as you. I graduated in may and just got my license as well. I have put in over 70 applications and haven't heard a peep. Working nurses I know said that it took them six months or more and hundreds of applications to find a job. Man-nurse2b suggested finding a job as a tech, phlebotomist, ect. which is a good idea. However, I know the hospitals around here (I live in the Chicago area) will not hire a new grad for such a position because they know that you will leave as soon as you find a job. We just have to keep trying. Good luck!

hr at the hospital i work at told me that, according to the illinois nurse practice act, a person working as an r.n. cannot work as a cna, pct, or er tech as well. is it different for emt-b and paramedics? i have read threads where people say that they work as both a r.n. and a paramedic. i live in illinois, i don't know if it varies from state to state. is this allowed by the illinois nurse practice act?
