Advantages of Learning CPR and First Aidby Nicole Allard | More from this Blogger 26 Feb 2006 07:15 PM There is always that awkward moment of shock after tragedy strikes. Everyone's thoughts are racing, wondering, What is going on? What happened? What is wrong? Then the bystander effect kicks in, and it's in these crucial moments that action must be taken. After only seconds of a person being unable to breathe, irreversible brain damage begins, gradually progressing, and unless someone acts a life could end. It doesn't take a Doctor to step up to the plate; anyone can help if they know what to do. There are many benefits to knowing CPR and First Aid. As far as careers go, there will always be a job available either teaching classes for CPR and First Aid or in public service, such as a paramedic. Those jobs have amazing benefits and are more rewarding than anyone could describe. Plus, these jobs will always be in demand, so there is a future for this career. But wait, there's something much more rewarding in store! CPR and First Aid saves lives. There's nothing valued more to humanity than life. And knowing CPR and First Aid can make the difference between life and death. One person taking action at the scene of an accident can make the ultimate distinction. Should your child choke on some food or a toy, or for some reason stops breathing, you will know what to do. You will understand that you need to stay calm, call emergency, and perform the CPR and First Aid techniques you learned. It doesn't take much to learn CPR and First Aid. Classes are available though many organizations. Many High Schools offer certification though Health classes. You can find information about classes online, or you can contact your local Red Cross for more information. CPR and First Aid saves lives, why wouldn't you want to know it? Learning CPR and First Aid has absolutely no disadvantages. You grow as a person, help your community, and change lives for the better. Stay Safe!
