Before I started writing full time years ago, I spent many years working in the hospital and more time than I care to recall taking CPR and other medical courses in college. I hated having to recertify for CPR every couple of years; it was a big pain in the rear. It also always seemed like the rules for CPR were changing so just when you were used to what you needed to do, you had to learn new things.
The American Heart Association sets the CPR guidelines that those learning CPR have to follow. If you are getting ready to get certified or just want more information on CPR and other first aid, the American Heart Association has announced its first iPhone app.
The app has 20 different videos showing how to perform CPR and how to do other types of first aid. Content covered in the app includes topics like choking, animal bites, bruises, burns, seizures, and diabetic emergencies. The app also teaches how to deal with minor things like cuts and wounds as well. the app is available now for $3.99.
I went out and bought this features and it’s ok. But, there’s nothing like the real certification. I recommend http://www.emergencyuniversity.com as a compliment to this training because of their their full certification. It was a great way to get certified quick for my job.
