CPRGreetings!

Will Compressions now come before Airway and Breathing? That's what it appears to be, but as of today, we're still waiting for final confirmation. We'll send you a link when everything's set!

Until then, remind students what they learn today is still good during their certification. But, take this opportunity to offer future classes to 'update' their skills at a special price. Just another opportunity to get 'face time'!

And how are you letting them know about the new guidelines as well as when their certifications are about to expire? Do you use a Post Card reminder system? How about an eNewsletter like this one? Need help setting something up? Give us a buzz at ECSI-Merchandise, that's what we're here for.

Finally, our website has two new updates!
  1. We now have a Newsletter section. We've archived past eNewsletters and list articles for quick finds!
  2. You'll notice a faster web experience since the site has been updated to a much faster server!
Thanks...and be safe!

Q&A: You've got questions, we've got answers!
I'm looking for a unique way to teach CPR to family and friends.

How about a CPR/Pizza party? That's right and it can be a lot of fun for everyone!

pizzaInvite your family and friends to learn CPR. Be serious about teaching the skills. Offer light refreshments and snacks during quick breaks. Just time the pizza delivery so it arrives as the last student finishes.

It works!  And those attending may just host your next CPR/Pizza party!!!

As for the additional cost of the pizza and refreshments? Since they're family and friends, offer them a discount from your usual class price, but make sure you cover the added expenses. It's a bit of marketing...

And just one more note, if you plan on serving "adult" beverages, save them for after the class is finished.

Got question about teaching? Or maybe how to handle a specific situation during class? Email them to us us. If we use your question, we'll send you a free stock T-shirt!

Stories from the trenches mannequin
Bags for Dummies!

I should have known. Always, ALWAYS check your own equipment. You do it at the beginning of your shift, you should do it before you leave to teach a class. But I was assured everything was there.

Upon arrival for a class of 10, you find out there are actually 25 students! One of the pitfalls when you're the sub-contractor! Then you realize you don't have extra lungs packed. What do you do?

Okay, first you panic...then you wonder can you just get by explaining what a 'chest rise' should look like? Hey, wait, lungs are just bags, right? So I asked for those small, handled plastic shopping bags. Wasn't the prettiest thing, but it worked. And the students thought the ingenuity was great!

Never leave without checking all of your equipment and always make sure you've got extras -- of everything! It won't happen again!

Do you have a real-life story or an anecdote you'd like to share? Email them to us. If we use it, you'll receive a free stock T-shirt!
