Im sitting in an ACLS class for nursing school right now. Anyone know if this satisfies a couple hours for my EMT coned in PA?
 
Probably. Talk to the instructors of the class, they will know better than us.
 
Not for a Basic.. It is ALS con ed only
 
The original poster refered to PA con ed requirements. I know a few years ago it didnt count cause it showed up on my report with 0 hours because I was an basic at the time.

Obviously it can count against NREMT but for PA state requirements I would say no. And to try and get PA state credit you need to sign the roster in the class. (State con ed roster)
 
It's absurd that they wouldn't accept ConEd. Advanced knowledge is a good thing.
 
Pa is A** backward on everything. Cant do RSI. Where most places use phenegran we have zofran.

the DOH has con ed that is designated as BLS/ALS or ALS only.

Sorry to hear about this.

The NREMT told me the exact opposite. As did my state EMS office.

Does that mean an EMT-B/EMT could take any ACLS or ALS level class for credit? Say, if I, as a basic, took a course on chest decompression, or chest tube management, could I count it for my CEs? How about physician-level CEs, or PA/NP or RN CE activities?
 
I asked this question to the NREMT in regards to MedScape ConEd. MedScape is for physicians. They said it fully counts.

That is AWESOME. I would love to take some CEs that are designed for EM MDs and ID MDs.
