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

Course Overview
Welcome to the American Heart Association’s ACLS course, taught in Nursing Unlimited’s trademark supportive, stress-free environment.  This course is designed to give students the opportunity to practice and demonstrate proficiency in the many skills used in resuscitation, including using airway adjuncts, performing high-quality CPR, and using a defibrillator.  Simulated cases allow students to practice both team leader and team member roles.  Multiple videos are incorporated into the course, providing information, case illustrations and demonstrations.  The interactive and dynamic  learning environment  contribute to making this one of our most popular courses, with our staff consistently receiving outstanding evaluations.

Purpose
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 and offered the appropriate course option.

Target Audience
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 will be required to self assess their knowledge and skills at time of registration according to the criteria defined below.

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.
