Took the class in high school. The teacher was too lazy to give out the certificates. I performed CPR twice but unsuccessfully.
Later I learned, that only about 5% of people who get CPR outside of a hospital are going to survive to get discharged from the hospital. It wouldn't have changed whether I would have performed CPR, but knowing that would have eased my mind a little.

You are welcome. For healthcare professionals whatever class we do has to offer AHA BLS certification. I have to renew mine plus my specialty specific certifications every 2 years but luckily my work does classes and it doesn't cost me anything.
I'm not sure how much layperson CPR classes cost. Can't be too much though.

MT1 on here. His wife saved a kid's life the other night. Kid fell into the pool and she gave him CPR. I will admit I don't know and that all should be certified but especially those with small children.

Another thing that parents with small children should look into....baby swimming lessons.
Those classes where they teach infants how to float and do basic swimming if they fall in a pool. Those videos always amaze me when I see those babies do that. If you have a pool and a baby....those classes should be something you seriously think about.

It's certainly simple to get certified. Now the AHA just trains for chest compressions.

Saw that on facebook. Infant literally got in the water and floated on its back. Crazy to watch but did well considering. Must be hard to watch if you are the parent but it worked.

Yeah we likely saw the same video. Pretty amazing.
Drownings of young children in pools happens here in AZ in much higher numbers than other states cause so many people have pools here.
It's getting to be pool season here...which means the news will sadly be full of reports of toddlers, babies and children being found unresponsive in pools. Or I'll hear about a child in the Peds ICU right next to the unit I work on that is back there from a near drowning(those poor babies usually do NOT have a good outcome sadly).

Every person who is old enough to drink, smoke or work should know cpr. Qualification of cpr is very irrelevant. Folks avoid it cause trainers make it all boring and drawn out. At least thats what I've seen. And every public business should own those disposable mouth covers! We're not all that quick to nerd kiss a 72 year old mouth breathing cigarette smoker.

up to date with 2015 guidelines?
we are working with AHA to get the new BLS, ACLS & RQI products out in the next month or so.
The RQI is a fantastic product.
eta PALS update will happen later in the year.

NRP
One of the times I had to recert on this some instructor(who thought she was some NICU know it all) tried to tell me I needed remedial classes because I had trouble intubating the mannequin. Tried humiliating me in front of the entire class because of this. First time ever that I had to do that for NRP. Usually they just have you practice setting up the scope/etc for the doctor(since as just an RN...you would NEVER be the one to intubate). Also...since I'm NRP certified cause I'm a peds nurse floating to the NICU...I'm not gonna ever be at an actual delivery...so I usually didn't need to complete all of the NRP components.
Wanted to tell that witch "Bitch I'm a nurse, when the frick would I EVER be actually intubating a baby?! If that happens, we got problems cause I just seriously overstepped my scope of practice"

Took me a long time to get over the fact that the one person I had to perform this on eventually died. Nothing I could have done differently, It was just his time. Didn't change the fact that I felt responsible. I still struggle with this at times.
