Preparing for the Unexpected Parts of Life
Taking CPR classes was part of my Certified Nursing Assistant classes. I was really nervous the first time I took the classes. Our CPR classes were for adult, children, and infant CPR. The CPR class is different depending on who needs the CPR. I think it’s very important that everyone who can take CPR classes does. Now you can take CPR classes for pets too. Some years they change how to do the CPR. I was watching on TV that they have a way to do CPR without doing the mouth to mouth resuscitation. Now you can take ACLS Online instead of going somewhere else to take classes. This makes it easier for someone who is busy, but wants to take the class. You can even train to teach other people CPR. I have been in the situation of having to help when someone has gone into a code blue. That is when someone needs to have CPR because they have stopped breathing and their heart has stopped. If someone has just stopped breathing you give them rescue breaths. It can be pretty overwhelming doing CPR. The most important thing is to stay calm and this easier said then done. You can get your acls certification online in your home. This makes it possible for most people to learn CPR.

The company I used to work for offered free CPR classes. I never took one. Now I wish I had.
