Dear AMRI Staff, I was told that PALS is only for advanced practitioners and considering that I was a new RN should not take the course until I got some experience. LOL now. Almost a week to the day after completing the AMRI PALS course, one of my patient’s went from respiratory distress to respiratory failure. My supervisor told me not to notify anyone, and based on my recent education, I called the patients pediatrician who after arriving within minutes thanked me for properly assessing his patients condition. Sooooo, I guess my advise about taking PALS payed off for my patient. Thanks again you guys!
