This is one of the first things that stood out to me when I took my Wilderness First Responder course 15 years ago.

I did my first zoom CPR skills session this evening. I felt it went great! Everyone was on a tight schedule this weekend. This allowed flexibility for both me and my client.

I taught a Heartsaver CPR & First Aid class in my county yesterday. I got a message from my client this morning. This is what she said. ❤️

“Thanks again so much for accommodating us yesterday to get our CPR done! I have to say that that was the best class I have ever had for CPR in my 30 year career as a RN. And I've had a few. I don't think you knew I was a RN although, that doesn't necessarily matter. You presented the information the same as should be for everyone. You kept us engaged and your presentation was very thorough and professional. All of the supplies you provided were top notch and of course, pen gifts are always great! I will definitely be referring you and I am going to post about my experience on the concerned citizens site. Hopefully we will see you again in 2 years!”

One important piece to my business that I missed was getting business cards. I didn’t think about it until someone asked me for one. Here are my new cards. The top picture is the front and bottom picture is the back of my card.

This is really amazing! Paramedics resuscitated a lifeless newborn by starting CPR.

Here is our new CPR and First Aid instructor in training. My son Alex is working on getting his instructor certification with AHA and Red Cross. It’s nice being able to teach him how to do this and ease him into it at his pace. I think he will do really well.

I taught a Red Cross first aid & CPR class today at the Red Cross Chapter in Portland. I was planning to give blood after my class but then the power went out. I changed my mind. Maybe next time. I’m glad I completed my class before we lost power. 👏👏

When I teach classes I like to know that I’m providing students with high quality equipment. I made a huge purchase for my business a couple weeks ago. I purchased 8 adult and 8 infant feedback manikins. I had a chance to use my new equipment today.
