CPR Class

The Franklin Fire Department has been offering a free non-credit CPR class on Sundays this month in honor of American Heart Month.  The last time I took a CPR class was exactly one month before Carter was born so I figured it was about time to get a refresher.  Plus the class was free - can't argue with that!  I got Missy and Suzy to take the class with me Sunday afternoon so we can now all save each other's kids if we have to :)

The class was three hours and covered adult hands-only CPR, child CPR with breaths, adult and child AED use, infant CPR, and relief of choking in an adult, child, and infant.  The class was the level one, "Family and Friends" class (you get certified like Brian and I did last time in the level two class).
The class was held at the Franklin Police Headquarters.  I'm not sure when the building opened but it's super nice and just outside of the city center.


A Franklin firefighter that teaches CPR to doctors at Vanderbilt several times a week taught the class.  A video from AHA went over everything and then he helped us with our dummies and answered questions.  It was a good class and I'm sure I'll take it again in a couple of years if they offer it again!
