I found this site in a panic yesterday with one day to study for my renewal and not having purchased the new book with the updated guidelines! I had no idea where to even start, and the resources here were SO HELPFUL. I didn’t quite make it through all the simulation tests at the last minute, but I still passed with “the high score of the day” (96%) today! Thank you so much!
Anxious to get started. Returning to nursing after 3 yrs and need to be sharp. I’ll keep you posted!
Anyone considering this, DO IT! This has been the most useful tool to help me pass my ACLS!
It helped me way better than just reading a book. I’m a respiratory therapist and not real familiar with pushing meds and working the defibrillator so I felt lost, but this made it so much easier to understand! Thank you so much!
