Accreditation Statement
These ACLS Certification Courses have been pre-approved by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists for Class A CE credits.
As of May 1, 2013, the AANA no longer awards CME credits for Basic Life Support (BLS) certification or recertification courses. This change was due to a revision by the American Nurses Credentialing Centers (ANCC) with the goal of providing quality education offerings that offer CRNAs supplemental courses that meet their level of licensure.
Credit can only be obtained once per three-year period.
Nurse Anesthetist ACLS Certification and Recertification
For Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is a must. In fact, in most states and countries, it’s required. ACLS Certification Association’s accredited ACLS courses and online training center prepare you for airway management techniques, stroke recognition and treatment protocols, and the latest evidence-based cardiopulmonary emergency interventions.
- ACLS Certification: Ideal for those new to ACLS or seeking a foundational understanding. This certification will give you the confidence and clinical knowledge needed to handle any emergency medical situation.
- ACLS Recertification: Perfect for experienced providers who have previously held active ACLS credentials and want to update their skills with the most current guidelines and best practices.
Both certification and recertification remain valid for two years.
Nurse Anesthetist PALS Certification and Recertification
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training is integral for CRNAs working with pediatric populations. Our PALS program aligns with the latest emergency cardiovascular care guidelines, providing the critical skills needed to assess, stabilize, and treat seriously ill or injured infants and children.
- PALS Certification: Recommended for those new to PALS or for those who want to learn the life-saving skills needed to save pediatric patients in emergency scenarios.
- PALS Recertification: Designed for CRNAs who have previously been certified and need to refresh their knowledge to maintain their PALS credentials.
PALS credentials remain valid for two years.
Nurse Anesthetist Neonatal Resuscitation Certification and Recertification
Neonatal resuscitation skills are essential for nurse anesthetists working in obstetric or neonatal care settings. The ACA Neonatal Resuscitation program addresses critical concepts, advanced algorithms, and intervention strategies to stabilize newborns during the first minutes of life.
- Neonatal Resuscitation Certification: Ideal for CRNAs who are either new to neonatal resuscitation or require a more comprehensive understanding of newborn stabilization.
- Neonatal Resuscitation Recertification: This is for those with previous neonatal resuscitation experience and certification who need to reinforce their skill set with the latest evolving best practices.
This certification also remains valid for two years.
