The First Aid Responder Refresher course is available for individuals who hold a valid PHECC First Aid Responder Cert. It is important that the certification is within the valid date range to be eligible for the refresher course.
First Responder
RNs are not First Reaponders. RNs generally work on hospitals or elderly care facilities. The only time an RN would be considered a FR is if he/she is working in a EMS LifeLite helicopter with a Paramedic. Even then there kind of not FRs. A First Responder is usually a EMT, FireFighter or Police officer. First Responder training ecompasses whatever there role is. An EMT will learn medical training, a FireFighter vehicle extrication and fighting fires, a police officer crowd control, traffic control and so on. Even if RNs are working LifeLite they still need a Paramedic for intubation, crics and so on.

The flow goes as follows: Certified First Responder, Emergency medical Technician- Basic, EMT- Intermediate, and EMT-Paramedic.
The role of the first responder is to survey the scene, makes sure it's safe, request more help if needed and minimize loss of life or damage to property if possible.
