The correct order of CPR steps according to the AHA are:
1. Check for responsiveness (gently shake patient and ask if they are OK)
2. Open the airway (gently lift chin)
3. Check for breathing (use the 'look, listen, feel' method)
4. If not breathing, give 2 rescue breaths
5. Check for a pulse at carotid artery for 10 seconds.
6. If no pulse begin 30 chest compressions at rate of about 100 per minute. (I sing in my head "Oh, oh, oh, oh, stayin' alive, stayin' alive"
7. After 30 compressions give 2 rescue breaths. Repeat the compressions and rescue breaths until EMS arrives or the patient tells you to get off their chest.
