The BLS for Healthcare Providers helped me become more prepared to help people in emergency situations. CPR is an essential skill for healthcare providers to know. Quick and quality CPR can be the difference between life and death for patients, and you never know when you may have to assist in an emergency. Jon Miller, the class presenter, did a fantastic job communicating not only the importance of CPR training, but also how important it is to stay up to date with CPR certifications. The American Heart Association is constantly updating the standards for CPR training. On top of this, new assistive technologies are being produced. Staying up to date with CPR trainings ensures that we as healthcare providers are aware of all the latest knowledge, standards and technologies available to us in times of distress. This training provided me with the knowledge and skills to provider CPR in a time of need. I am able to provide quality CPR to people of all ages. You never know when or where you may need these skills, and they can be helpful in both the workplace or at home.
