learn first aid

Seeing as you have to constantly renew your training and skills every few years or so, I’ve decided to wait until my last year of uni to undertake the first aid course to have on my resume and use in case of emergency in school.

On the 13th of October I’m finally going to learn the basics of first aid.

I’m being sent on the course by my boss after volunteering in response to an email. I’ve been wanting to do this for a very long time. I requested this training when I worked at my previous job, and they never managed to get around to sending me on the course. They sent Lizz pretty much straight away when she requested it (that’s favouritism for you)!

It’s only on for a few hours, so I’m just hoping they cover plenty of things in the time they have.

Looking forward to crossing this thing off. :)

I got it! Standard first aid with CPR C :) I feel so confident that I can save someone’s life now. At first it was just to have it for the job I will be getting, now it will help me save someone’s life. Such a great feeling. I recommend everyone get this in their life!

I am going on the 13th and 14th for the two day CPR course :)

Giving up one day in return to knowing how to save somebodies life. You’d think that the heimlich maneuver or the recovery position would be common knowledge, but there’s more to it than people originally assume.

Will need to make some money first to afford it. But will look up local accredited courses so I can find out how much they cost.

I want to learn first aid as this is something that is completely different from my career path.

I want to learn first aid so that in case of any medical-related emergency at my home I will be able to handle it.

I want to learn first aid because I wish to join St John as a volunteer

I should really get on this soon, as its important to my future career.

I’ve wanted to do this for a while now. The class I signed up for months ago was canceled and now I need to save up the money to sign up for another one.

Well, this has been on my list for a very long time and I’ve never gotten round to thinking about it. Last night I looked online, and the St Andrew’s Ambulance offer a load of courses in Edinburgh, but not a one fits in with my schedule at the moment, so I’m going to leave this until spring and try again!
