Are you sure I’m qualified for this?

So I just had a mini-vaca from work, a mid week three days off in a row kind of vacation. One filled with lots of errands, driving long distances, and school work. I felt so accomplished and ready to take on the world. Just to prepare myself, I checked my work email. Apparently I’m registered for an ACLS course NEXT week. ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT. I’m not qualified to do this. I’ve seen chest compressions once. Scratch that, I’ve seen them quite a few times, on the TV shows House and Grey’s Anatomy. And we all know how realistic those shows are, but don’t even get me started on that. I’ve never seen a code performed, never done compressions of my own. I panic every time my patient’s SBP (systolic blood-pressure) either drops below 100 or is above 145. Never mind what happens when their heart rate falls out of normal parameters. How in the hell am I supposed to get my shit together for ACLS. Let’s just hope my patient’s don’t almost die on me. For their sake, not mine.
