First Aid Training

[MedicYeti 96]

Greetings. A different thread motivated me to start this one.

I am a practicing paramedic, paramedic instructor, emt instructor and instructor for the American Heart Association.

If there is interest I would be willing to hold an informal first aid class, covering some of the basics along with a little of the goary stuff.

I'm in Cape May County but would be willing to do some travel for this.

Let me know if your interested.

Sounds good to me. Should be a good complement to my CERT class, as well as what they gave us as RSOs at the range.

Nice Gesture. Im actually going to start taking my first aid and CPR classes at Brookdale this fall. Extra help would be greatly appreciated.

[BlackOps Badger 52]

I would be down for this. Especially since this week at work we had someone have a massive heart attack. Would be good to learn some life saving things.

[Damjan 73]

Interested.

 

Willing to drive to Cape May if need be.

 

How about timing. Do you plan this for this month or next ?

[petros600 12]

Very cool, not in your area so i wouldn't be able to attend, however thats a very nice offer.

 

One thing you or maybe some of the other people here in the medical field might want to do is post up a list for first aid kits. More along the lines of what this group of folks should have with them when going to the range or hunting. I know we have had similar talks about tool kits for cross country bike rides and it was an eye opener for a lot of riders, might be the same here on this topic.

I'm a little rusty.. but I can help too

[Joelk 61]

MedicYeti, I would be interested.

[MedicYeti 96]

I guess we should pick a date and time.

I have many days available so other suggestions are welcomed but I'll start with Friday oct 7th or Saturday oct 8th. Evening?

[CPRPE 4]

I will be out of town that Fri and Sat.

 

Damn.

[Medic3166 0]

I'd be willing to help out too if needed Ron.

[MedicYeti 96]

Ok. How about Friday October 21 or Saturday Oct 22? Evening? I figure the class would take 3-4 hours. We can hold it at my place in Cape May Court House (got wife approaval) 08210.

To those who have offered help, I appreciate it and will let you know, it will depend on enrollment.

Let me know, the dates are open to discussion. If you are going to attend PM me and I'll give you my address, I don't want to openly post it.

Ron.

MedicYeti, very nice of you to offer first aid training last year.

 

Would anyone know of any first aid classes in north Jersey? I've had plenty of training in CPR, so I would be more interested in learning to treat trauma.

[Dewhitewolf 8]

I would be interested as well. I used to be a volunteer EMT a long time ago, but my certifications have long since expired. I'd be interested in something more than just basic first aid and CPR.

A lot of the first aid squads and FDs in my area offer classes. Might wanna check around with them. Also, I think that the YMCAs do as well.
