Personally, when instructing CPR, I ensure that the students are fully aware of the value of CPR and its lifesaving properties. Showing a real life video of a CPR Survivor will make your students want to listen and learn the skill more. Starting with a few statistics such as "the chance of survival from a cardiac arrest without CPR is less than 5%" or "only 32% of cardiac arrest patients receive bystander CPR prior to the arrival of Emergency Services" will make your students understand the need to take action should a real life scenario unfold.
Some schools teach CPR as part of their health class curriculum.
You can learn CPR by taking a CPR class. Contact your local American Heart or Red Cross for class schedules.
It would be a good idea to get experience with lots of exercise and training. You should take a CPR class and read books on the anatomy, muscles and other Fitness related topics. Finally, you should get certified by a nationally recognized organization and then start applying for jobs.
You must teach a class at least once during your period of certification, or before your expiration date. Also, for CPR your card is only certified for 1 year so you must teach a class in CPR annually. If you teach at least 1 class per year, your instructor card should be automatically renewed by your chapter of authorization. If you have not taught a class, you will need to get with an IT before your card expires to refresh before your card will be renewed.
As long as the class is certified by the CPR association they should be the same. This is due to the training that is required to make the class certified.
No, babysitting class will not count as a CPR class; you will need to take a CPR class if you want that certification.
Ask her to take a CPR class with you. Tell her you want her to be prepared to save a life. It will be better to take a class together so she can actually practice on a mannequin.
