Training coworkers in CPR


DO any of you provide training for your coworkers in CPR? This is something my agency is interested in having me look into, but I am unsure about how to do it. I know before I was a nurse, I worked for agencies where the nurse would train us and we would get a Red Cross or AHA card, but I don't know how to set up something like that here.

Hi. I train my coworkers in CPR-AHA-You first need to become a certified instructor yourself. You can go to the American Heart Association Website to find out how. I train most of my coworkers in the Heartsaver curriculum, as most of them are not MEDICAL. I do enjoy it. Best of luck to you!!!

Thanks for that info. I am talking to my boss about taking the BLS training course and training them in Heartsaver. I'm hoping work will pay for it.
