CPR/AED certification
Who out there in IM land has a CPR/AED certification? I need to get one to
get my test results for a PT certification test. There are several places I can get it but I'm not sure where to go. I called my local Red Cross several times but the person who I need to talk to is perpetually out. They leave a message, I call back, they aren't there, etc. So my questions are - Where did you get yours? How was it? Is there anything I should know before hand? |

American Red Cross Heart Savers call the local fire dept. (EMTs sometimes teach the course) call the local hospital (nurses sometimes teach the course) How was it? easy Is there anything I should know before hand? nope |

Easy Its better if you go in not knowing anything that way you don't block out or ignore a possible new way of doing something. You can also look up a local college. They usually offer the course through the American Heart Association and its fairly cheap. Your class shouldn't be more than a few hours long and generally the instructors are boring but fair and will help you out if you make little mistakes. Also as previously stated you can call a local EMS or Fire and Rescue squad for you area and they should have some information. NOTE: Don't let the AED scare you. It literally talks to you and tells you, in order, what to do and how to do it. |

I got my last one at the red cross. And I just got one renewed by a local firefighter who did a class that took 45 minutes. It cost 5 bucks! And is good for 2 years! What a joke it was. But hey I am already certified before so I am comfortable performing CPR, but if its someone who dont have a clue I wouldnt have only did the short CPR class, the Red Cross is very in depth.
