So I'm a new grad that recently landed a job at a doctor's office and while I am SUPER grateful to have a job in this recession, it was never really was what I wanted. Needless to say I am concurrently looking for a new job in a hospital and would like to make myself more marketable by getting my PALS, ACLS, EKG certification. The only problem is....I work the 9-5 Mon-Fri which often turns into the 9-7 (my Dr is a slow poke). I live in Southern California (LA/OC area). Does anyone know of any Weekend classes I can attend?

Just be cautious. Some hospitals are now ONLY accepting American Heart Association BLS, ACLS, PALS, NALS certifications. EKG certification classes are generally offered in hospitals, perhaps you could check with the facilities where your doctor goes and get all of your certifications from them. Good Luck and keep looking for hospital experience.
