    I had a feeling that we might have to get certified through AHA. Too bad EMT certifications cannot substitute CPR cards, given how much that is covered in EMT class. Thanks for the

    I would actually recommend American Heart Association because many hospitals require that place due to their contracts, though nursing schools don't tend to be selective. Truly, though, they are the...
