- Think ahead. If you are already a certified ACLS provider you shouldn't wait until the last minute to try and re certify. This will increase you ACLS stress 10 fold. After all you could be suspended from work until you come back with a card. For some of you, that could amount to a nice chunk of change off your paycheck. Ouch!
- Make sure you are taking a class that issues the right certification for you. AHA ACLS is no longer the only program out there. However, some old school organizations require their employees to have only AHA. That's like saying because you have taken an AHA ACLS class, we know you are competent. NOT! I won't even get started on that one. Anyway, just be sure that you know exactly what kind of card you need BEFORE you take the class.
- Know where you are going. Ummm....this is a huge one. If you are trying to find your way to a class at the last minute, (having never been there) you have issues. Google maps is very easy to use.
Lastly, show up for class early and meet some people. This will take the edge off the situation and if you are not an ACLS guru, you may have just met someone that can help you through the tight spots, especially if your instructor is a Nazi.
