Certifications

Find a ACLS, BCLS or PALS course
TNCC Programs
CATN Programs
ENPC Programs
National Institute for Healthcare Education  I highly recommend this company for a stress free ACLS/BCLS/PALS/NRP class in Los Angeles, and up the west coast. However the trainers are willing to travel anywhere for a group session, so get together a group of travelers and perhaps some local colleagues and invite Linnae to come and run a program. ACLS/BCLS renewal programs are a one day affair for both.
