Snakes aren't poisonous, but venomous. The difference is venom is only deadly when it gets into your blood stream, which is exactly what snakes try to do.

Their fangs are tubular, so they can inject venom into your bloodstream through their teeth.

It depends what you mean by 'bitten' ! If they have simply been bitten - and the snake has left the area - simple first-aid to the bite area is all that's needed. If you mean a person is being constricted by the snake - your only course of action is to attempt to untangle the snake from the victim. Either way - a trip to hospital should be made at the earliest opportunity.

Remove the person from the area. Can you ID the snake? The first thing on your mind is to prevent the poison from traveling any further.

Get to the ER right away.Keep the person calm as possible. No food or drink.
