HealthEdSolutions.com Releases State-Specific Resource Section for ACLS Certification; Texas and Ohio Health Trends Featured

    LINCOLN, NE, October 08, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Health Education Solutions, a leading provider of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) online certification, today released a new Texas and Ohio Health Trends Special Section to help healthcare professionals in TX and OH learn more about industry data, health trends and training options. This series of articles is available in Health Education Solutions' online research library.

"In Health Education Solutions' online courses for PALS and ACLS certification, Texas and Ohio healthcare professionals--as well as those from across the nation--can learn valuable skills and advance their careers with convenient online certification courses and industry-focused resources," said Melissa Marks, president of Health Education Solutions.

Texas employs the second highest number of emergency medical technicians and paramedics in the U.S., according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Ohio's growing senior population is above the national average, leading to a higher demand for healthcare services. In both of these states, the need for healthcare professionals who understand and can practice proper resuscitation techniques is at an all-time high.

The resource section is free and available for individuals seeking information about ACLS classes or PALS certification, Ohio and Texas healthcare professionals or anyone who simply wants to be prepared to provide care in an emergency situation.

The certification provider has also released ACLS practice tests to help healthcare providers and first responders prepare for the ACLS certification or recertification exam. The free ACLS practice quiz offers three five-question sample tests. A full ACLS certification practice test and an ACLS recertification practice exam, both complete with 50 timed multiple-choice questions, are available for $35. A portion of this fee can be applied to the purchase price of the full certification course. Practice tests are available at healthedsolutions.com.

For more information about PALS recertification and initial PALS certification, ACLS certification, Texas and Ohio health trends, and practice exams, please visit www.healthedsolutions.com.
