“Stress Free” Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Class

Course Overview
This Dual Option course is designed to teach the knowledge and skills required to implement the American Heart Association’s ACLS treatment guidelines in the learner’s practice setting. The curriculum provides the structure to simultaneously educate learners based on their existing knowledge base and associated skill sets. Learners are categorized into two defined groups based on proficiency and offered the appropriate course option.

Who Should Attend
The participant in this course is a healthcare provider based in a practice setting that requires ACLS knowledge and skills as a condition of employment. The 1-Day option is targeted to those experienced ACLS providers who routinely use ACLS in their practice setting as a part of their job duties. The 2-Day option is for all other providers.

Prerequisites
The choice of enrollment option is determined by proficiency in the subject matter. The participant is required to self assess their knowledge and skills at time of registration according to the criteria defined below.

• Performing BLS CPR skills using the most recent American Heart Association Guidelines
• Reading and interpreting ECGs
• Understanding ACLS drugs and treatment algorithms
• Performing the BLS Primary Survey and the ACLS Secondary Survey

Providers enrolling in the 1-Day option are required to be proficient in the criteria listed above.
Providers enrolling in the 2-Day option are expected to have a basic understanding of the criteria listed above.

Some of the Objectives Include
Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:

• Recognize and initiate early management of peri-arrest conditions that may result in
cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome.
• Demonstrate proficiency in providing BLS care, including prioritizing chest compressions and
integrating AED use.
• Manage cardiac arrest until return of spontaneous circulation, transfer of care or termination of resuscitation
• Identify and treat ischemic chest pain and expedite the care of patients with acute coronary syndromes
• Recognize other life-threatening clinical situations, such as stroke, and provide effective initial care and transfer to reduce disability and death.
• Demonstrate effective communication as a member or leader of a resuscitation team and recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance.

2-Day Option
The course fee for the 2-Day option is $200 for 9.2 contact hours and includes the Nursing Unlimited Homestudy Guide and ACLS Provider Manual from Nursing Unlimited’s Library (which is to be returned at the end of class, or may be purchased for $30).

1-Day Option
The fee for the 1-Day option is $140 for 6.9 contact hours and includes the Nursing Unlimited Homestudy Guide and ACLS Provider Manual from Nursing Unlimited’s Library (which is to be returned at the end of class, or may be purchased for $30).

If you are not practicing ACLS as a regular part of your professional role in your healthcare facility, it is recommended that you carefully read the pre-requisites to choose the correct course option.
Please remember to include $5.00 for shipping and handling.

If you do not feel comfortable reading and interpreting ECGs, understanding ACLS drugs or treatment algorithms please refer to our ACLS Preparation course CLICK HERE.

A current BLS for Healthcare Providers card is no longer a prerequisite for entry into the ACLS program; the AHA requires “BLS SKILLS”.  However, if your BLS card has expired or is about to expire and you wish to renew, we still offer BLS certification within the ACLS course for a discounted price of $25.
