So it was my initial class that I took at Jeffstat at Jefferson in Philadelphia & they are still giving me the same answer & no credits. Apparently there is a difference in the AHA in-class & online portion. I was told you get credit for the on-line class, even though if you choose this option you still have to go in & demonstrate on the mannequins, but there are no CEU's for the in-class portion. This is really sad & someone should be regulating this across the board so someone can give a straight 'yes RN's get whatever amount of CEU's' or 'no you don't.' If I would have known no CEU's were being offered, I would have went somewhere else & paid that chunk of money. This is crazy!

I'm a RN in Pennsylvania & received my ACLS certification in-class in October from a local Philadelphia area hospital. Now according to some other RN's who have taken the classes, we are eligible for CEU's. According to the site where I took the calss, they do not give out CEU's for ACLS.; though I also took the class w/ EMT's & they received CEU's. I have called the AHA, PA state board of nursing & the hospital where I took the class & have been getting varying answers. Why aren't RN's eligible for these important CEU's? I also had to pay for the class & studied the same information as the EMT's.
