As a retired Dental Hygienist and former CNA, I have always had a career where I provide a service that help people. As a former CNA, I witnessed the importance of knowing CPR. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, more commonly known as CPR, is a life-saving technique that helps maintain blood flow to the brain and heart in an emergency situation. CPR can save your life, a family member’s life, and a stranger’s life.

In case of an emergency situation, you should first call 911. However, in some cases where a person is having a heart attack or the person appears to not be breathing, those minutes waiting on help to arrive can seem long and actions taken can extend a life. Especially if you have CPR training, you will be able to apply those skills to help aid a victim until first responders arrive and can take over.
