    Did CPR for the first time today.

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Amethya's topic in School

    For those who have not had PALS, if this child was young (age wasn't specified) compressions were indicated. Please see #4. I can't get a hold of anything from AHA because my computer is being stupid...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School
