Which CPR classes are better, the ones from the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association?
Q. I'm a nursing student and I need CPR certification. I don't know which classes are better, the ones from the Red Cross or the ones from the American Heart Association. The American Heart Association seems to be cheaper, but I don't know if they provide the textbooks or if you have to buy them, b/c it says it's only $35.00, and the red cross classes are like $60.00. I would appreciate your help in this regard. thanks!

A. It all depends on the area or potential employer. The big 3 AHA, American Red Cross and the American Safety and Health Institute all use the same set of standards which are developed jointly. The standards are set by the ECC or Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee. On this committee all 3 organizations are represented. But to answer your question, in general AHA is the most widely recognized and accepted by Health care facilities.

A. They are teaching the same courses. If you can always take a class online to save the time and money from having to seek out a Red Cross or AHA class. There are several good online courses. I used National CPR Certification. It seems rather straight forward. Just make sure you use a Nationally recognized class.

Would getting an American Heart Association BLS the same thing as CPR for Health Care Providers certificate?
Q. The BLS is also for health care providers...I'm kind of confused as to what the difference is. The class I'm in only says to get a CPR for Health Professionals class but I can't find anything with that title so I'm thinking they meant a BLS, possibly.

A. AHA BLS and Healthcare provider is the same thing. The healthcare provider course is a BLS (Basic Life Support) skill. So the class you are taking is a BLS course. Its just that AHA call it healthcare professional. No difference, it is one course.

A. Neither American Heart Association nor the American Red Cross offers on-line only options. The American Red Cross DOES offer something called 'Blended Learning' which is taken mostly on-line then you show up in person to demonstrate/practice the hands-on skills. You can also try to renew via the Red Cross, even if the original card was AHA. In most places, they offer more and more accessible reviews.

A. The only way I can lose weight is to always be hungry and just get the mindset that if I'm hungry it means what I really want to happen is happening. You gotta eat the food you know you need to eat to stay healthy...and in very small portions. I work a physical job so exercise isn't a factor, but if you have a sedentary job you really should get your heart-rate up everyday.

A. virtually addictive. How do you think McDonald's has stayed in business so many years. It is also like the 'free nuts' and even buffets at the bars at happy hour, to get you to eat and drink more. People also tend not to read food labels, or be aware of the link between sodium/salt, high blood pressure, and stroke. Even if they do read the food labels, they can be misleading. The SERVING size can trick us, so for example, there is one small pizza on the market that looks like it might be a single serving, but in actual fact is THREE. A large can of tomatoes for pasta sauce, for example, is 14! so if you gave that to your family of 4 one night and you ate the whole thing, just think how much salt they would be consuming. So everyone… [cont.]
