ACLS CERTIFICATION : IMPORTANT TIPS TO PASS THE ACLS CERTIFICATION LIKE A BOSS CHEAT SHEET GUIDE

[@NurseCheung]

Hello to all of my Healthcare brothers and sister!
The 2020 AHA Guidelines are out. I have posted the new videos for BLS, ACLS, and PALS: ruclips.net/p/PLhOFBB3AV9swkQ1KUodrLKmxvEbI3R0-R.
These changes will not take place until February 2021; however, these concepts are currently being taught in your courses. ☺️❤️

TIME STAMP: 18:12. The 2nd dose of adenosine should be given 1-2 minutes AFTER the first dose. The 2nd dose should be given as rapid as the 1st dose! When injected into the body, adenosine is rapidly absorbed by red blood cells and blood vessel endothelial cells and metabolized for natural uses throughout the body. In light of this adenosine should be administered by RAPID intravenous bolus so that a significant bolus of adenosine reaches the heart before it is metabolized.

[@NurseCheung]

Congratulations on taking your first steps as a new RN Mich. The Advanced Life Support Certification is a major component of many intermediate care and intensive care units. Having this certification will set you apart from some of your competition. If you plan to work in the ER, I would recommend also obtaining your PALS certification as well. You may need to take PEARS prior to your PALS for the foundation. When you go to interview create a small binder or folder with your resume, certifications, and any awards or membership you were a part of during nursing school. Many hospitals are wanting to see candidates who were did their diligence with certifications prior to starting and were in involved in their nursing program. This will mean you want to be involved on the unit with Evidence Based Practice initiatives and Unit Nurse Practice Councils. During you interview, make sure you do research about the hospital system and unit if there is anything listed online and also make sure you always ask a question at the end of your interview. "What is the culture of the unit?" "What are your expectations for my position?" "How can I be involved on the unit?" Never ask about pay and benefits because the hiring manager usually don't have that information. I hope this was helpful in making you competitive in your job hunt. Keep me up to date with how your job hunting goes. I want to follow your journey ☺️

@@NurseCheung THANKYOU! I never learned what to do after I passed my boards in school and I have no connections so I am just lost. I passed my ACLS and your videos helped tons I just get confused with the heart blocks! Would IV therapy be a good cert too or should I wait till I am actually in the field? Thank you again Nurse Cheung you're very helpful!

I am so happy that I can help you transition to practice ☺️❤️ As for the IV therapy certification, this is typically used for those individuals who plan to become PICC/Midline placement nurses. It definitely wouldn't hurt to obtain but I feel you will still be competitive based off of following my previous post.☺️ Totally up to you.

Thank you so much for this! The link on here for the cheat sheets and powerpoints won't work for me. Is there a new site?

[@NurseCheung]

Great question. My website was lost a few months ago and I am slowly working my way through what was lost. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Good morning. Is there a printable version of this presentation? This is really helpful

[@NurseCheung]

Hi Elizabeth Andrade. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of the printable version of this presentation ☺️ I found that people were selling my powerpoint on Etsy a year ago and stopped providing the printable version.

Question… at minute 22:45 of the video you said for V-tach we give epi???? It’s listed on the slide. Then you said we give amio right under it… why would we give epi if their HR is already high in Vtach or vfib?

[@NurseCheung]

Excellent question! In reference to the slide at 22:45, I'm discussing the management of Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia and Ventricular Fibrillation. According to the 2020 AHA Guidelines, there are three medications employed during cardiac arrest situations: Epinephrine, amiodarone, and lidocaine. Epinephrine is primarily administered within the cardiac arrest algorithm due to its potent vasoconstrictive properties, which enhance cardiac output. This medication is given before it stimulates an increase in heart rate, improves myocardial contractility, and enhances conduction through the AV node. This ultimately leads to improved perfusion pressure to both the brain and heart.
