As a new nurse, you may discover that some positions require additional certifications such as ACLS, NRP, or PALS. We offer these essential courses — register today at schedule.emstrainingny.com.

How to Get Ready

The ACLS Course is designed to teach you the lifesaving skills required to be both a team member and a Team Leader in either an in-hospital or out-of-hospital setting. Because the ACLS Course covers extensive material in a short time, you will need to prepare for the course beforehand.

Precourse Requirements

You should prepare for class by doing the following:

1. Review and understand the information in your ACLS Provider Manual, ACLS Algorithms and Review EKG Rhythms.

2. Review, understand, and pass the mandatory precourse self-assessment.

3. Review, understand, and complete the mandatory video pre-work (video lessons). Once you have passed the ACLS Precourse Self-Assessment and completed the video lessons, print your certificate and score report, and bring them with you to class. Retake the course as many times as necessary to achieve a score of 70% or better.

Ensure that your BLS skills and knowledge are current for the resuscitation scenarios. You will be tested on adult high-quality BLS skills using a feedback manikin at the beginning of the ACLS Course. You must know this in advance because you will not be taught how to do CPR or use an AED.

What to Bring and What to Wear

Bring your ACLS Provider Manual to each class. You will need it during each lesson in the course. You may wish to purchase the AHA’s Handbook of ECC for Healthcare Providers (optional), which you may bring to class to use as a reference guide during some of the stations in the course.

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing to class. You will be practicing skills that require you to work on your hands and knees, and the course requires bending, standing, and lifting. If you have any physical condition that might prevent you from engaging in these activities, please tell an instructor. The instructor may be able to adjust the equipment if you have back, knee, or hip problems.

We look forward to welcoming you on (day and date of class). If you have any questions about the course, please call (name) at (telephone number).
