Where did all of you people go to school that required you to get a CPR certification? I would have stayed in high school if it meant I wouldn't have had to pay $50 out of my own pocket for it :(
Got it in highschool, never used it, forgotten how to do it.
Once I tried to do the compressions on myself to see if it would give me double breathing power
We needed one in order to graduate. Granted I wouldn't say half the people were actually qualified; it was rushed through as it's a requirement but they pretty much just ticked the box and said "yep they're good".Quote:

Nah. If I'm ever alone with someone who needs CPR, they will probably end up dead.
I had a couple of classes on it that accumulate to approximately 4-5 hours. Never tested for the certificate or whatever, but I have never had to use it. Came close once when a guy who lived on the third floor of the barracks I used to live in 'fell' off the side of the railing. It's too bad he suffered only superficial wounds, I would have liked to give him a little something something.
Nope, I'm pretty much useless in danger. :monster:
Oh. My mom's certification expired. So she now has an excuse not to help people.
I have to update mine a lot or my school will get mad at me :) And I've almost had to use it since where I work the elderly choke on their meals pretty often. My co-worker had to use it on one of our residents during my work shift. I've had some panics in the dining hall often asking my residents to say something so I know their airway isn't obstructed.
