Thread: Anyone here CPR/AED certified?

yup, been certified a few times...I think my last one has expired.

Have to be to do my work so I've had it for years. Although I've only had to use it once on a guy having a seizure.

I've been certified for CPR numerous times, and First Aid once. Although my first aid certificate has expired and I have never used it ever, I think that if I ever had to use what I learnt, I would have forgotten what to do.

Yep - adult and child CPR & First Aid, through both Red Cross and American Heart Association. Have to have it for my job. The first time I did it, the lady kinda hacked her way through the class. I felt like it was a B.S. class, and she didn't do a good job of it. The second time, the instructor was very knowledgeable, and went above and beyond what he had to teach us. It was an amazing experience.

I have to renew soon, so I'll have to take it again next month or january. I really enjoyed it and have thought about becoming an instructor several times. Never end up looking into it though.

Yes, certified in both, per Federal agency mandate.

i will be soon, need it for my major and future career.

Yup, I was CPR certified as part of my major, which is also a requirement for virtually any personal trainer certification.

the things that is funny is that they make you get certified to work in a gym. and then they tell you never to perform CPR on someone becasue if it goes wrong the family can sue you and that you can't put your mouth on people because of diseases and germs..etc....What the hell is the point of getting it if you aren't allowed to use it?
