Do you require any of the staff who work in your clinics to be ALS or PALS certified? 

If you do, which clinics do you require it in and why?

If the clinics have a crash cart is that a deciding factor for ALS or PALS certification?

What about Oncology Infusion Units?

Thank you in advance for your responses?

Ceresa,

Hello, my name is Veronica, I am a nurse manager for an outpatient ambulatory clinic. Our facility requires only a BLS for the ambulatory clinic, I have repeatedly asked if the ambulatory RN staff should be ACLS/PALS certified due to the RNs triaging our Walkin patients and that we have a crash cart on our unit. Luckily most of the RNs have obtained their certifications which makes me feel at ease. I would also like to know what the requirements are of other facilities.
