Should I take CPR classes? And if yes, do you know where?

Yes, it's good to learn different useful skills. It's also fun learning new things. You can take it on some cummunity colleges. Have a nice day! :)

Yes, CPR is a core part of the EMT class.

I think that's a great idea.  Sure, it'd mean a bit more in taxes, but First Aid and CPR are worth the money, and basic living skills may even save money in the long run by helping out people who aren't well-off stay off welfare and medicaid.

you sure can -  i would just make sure you have been around the age of the child you are going to sit for and know some first aid tips - CPR is always a good one to know you can take a first aid class in just a few hours on a Saturday - however this isn't necessary- but if you are sitting an infant make sure you know how to change diapers and feed them detail stuff like that  - and just be responsible and use your noggin and you should do great!!

1. Yes, but you can always use some common sense too.\n\n2. Here are some things to think about:-\n(a) different skin complexions with regard to accidents like burns or symptoms like flushing;\n(b) older people and fragility of bones; \n(c) close contact treatments (as with CPR) and ethnic/religious mores.\n\n3. Now go and do some further thinking for yourself, and answer the question in a truly unique, creative and original way.

u should be able to do cpr with clothing on the victim, however if the clothing does interfere with CPR then it is okay. for a female victim, it would be neccesary to ask bystanders to step back if u r about to bare her chest.  RN

Try your local Ymca.  Often times they have Scuba courses available.  If you are not a Ymca member then you might have to pay a little more but my family got certified in Bloomington Indiana so you should be able to get scuba lessons in WI.

Of course you can go to college for premed and learn a lot. But if you want to get going right away volunteer for ambulance duty or become an EMT. Then you'll know if you like it and you'll know what to study.

Indiana University offers a class. Type "Lifeguard certification class in Indianapolis, IN" into Google, and it's the first link. Glad to help.

Yes, go to Rueed.com\nThis is a home study transition program. You will earn your degree from Excelsior College in New York.  I started as an EMT through a community college, LPN at a vocational school and I am now enrolled in the program that I just told you about working towards my RN. Several Paramedics opt to do it this way. My husband is also a FF/Medic. He thought about nursing but he got tired of hearing my stories...LOL!\n\nI don't know who told the person up there that Paramedics don't go to college...that's the dumbest thing I have ever heard. She needs to walk a day in their shoes. Does she think they got the education and license from Walmart?\n\nAnyways, whether you go to a college or do the online thing they do give you credit for the practical portion while you are working as a Medic.

Miramar CC.  They have one of the best fire science programs in CA and I believe they offer paramedic training as well.

Try the Nike CPR club. You won't be disappointed.

you're making a big mistake, you're still in school so enjoy your summertime, once you get a full time job there will be no more summers!  Trust me, prep for college when you're in school, ENJOY YOUR YOUTH!  When you're in school, clubs the the NHS do volunteering during the school year, get active in clubs like NHS and FBLA and if you're a christian be in FCA.  If you HAVE to do something over the summer though, why not stop by your local fire department and learn some CPR classes and stuff.  It's fun and free!\n\nBut my first choice would still just be to relax...

yes I have and no, it is not difficult - it's more concepts whereas for CPR you have to get in the water, etc.

Yes I have, Once when I was about 14 I was watching my little sister while my mom went shopping.  She found 2 dimes in the living room and tried to swallow them I tried putting my finger in her mouth to get them out which was like THE WORST THING TO DO. Luckily while I was calling 911 my mom came in, turned up on her stomach and punded her back (all the time I was crying and screaming to the 911 operator to hurry up becasue she kept asking me so many questions).  Thats why I believe that EVERY person nomatter what age should get a CPR training from the red cross.

Call your local chapter of the American Red Cross or American Heart Association to see if they sponsor any free activities. Our local ARC chapter has a free CPR Saturday, for example.

Take a course in first aid and get certified in CPR. You may want to learn about childcare (giving baths, changing diapers, etc) for more experience. I have never heard of a babysitting license?
