ACLS & PALS in The Bay Area

I just wanted to warn any Nurses in the bay area looking to take ACLS & PALS. I took both through someone who lied about being associated with the American Heart Association. My Certifications were useless and I paid $550 for both!! The worst part is he was recommended by my hospitals Human Resource Department!! I have retaken both classes through the San Francisco Paramedics Association and highly recommend those classes! If you go to the American Heart Associations website (http://www.americanheart.org/) they have a list of classes in your area.
Ouch!!I hope you turned him in to HR. Glad you got that straightened out, NervousRN.

If HR recommended him...maybe HR should reimburse you??? I'd be pitching a fit!

I would recommend Project Heartbeat's classes for ACLS, PALS, BLS certification in the Bay Area. They are AHA certified, and most of their classes are taught by nurses and geared specifically towards nursing. Their website: http://www.projectheartbeat.com
