A bus driver teaching BCLS for healthcare providers…seriously?? A person with NO medical experience teaching medical professionals! What were you thinking? Though the instructor was very nice, she was ill-prepared to teach life-saving skills. It was beyond sub-standard. I am seriously disappointed. She could not answer questions. I have been a nurse for 30 years and currently teach nursing at the university level, therefore am well-versed in CPR. I can attest that she incorrectly instructed students. She repeatedly did not know the answer to questions asked, for example, does one check for a pulse before beginning CPR (she told the class if the person is unresponsive, start CPR, do not check for a pulse first). When asked if one should activate EMS first or start CPR first, she did not know the answer. When I asked her if we were going to cover infant CPR since it appeared she was moving on to reviewing for the test but not covering infants, she then got out the infants but never taught infants CPR! She only covered back and front blows for choking. I was shocked she didn’t teach CPR for infants. Very poor instruction. She then wrote the answers on the board and reviewed (gave us the answers to the test) and distributed the test. She never covered how to switch in 2-man CPR, what to do when you find a person submerged in water, what to do if person has been electrocuted, how to do heimlich manuveur for choking, placement of pads for AED, and so many concepts she simply didn’t know. This is the second time I’ve taken CPR through in-pulse CPR. All my career it’s always been with first responders as instructors. Please keep your standards as they were. Those with no medical experience should not be teaching life-saving skills. It is my opinion you are jeopardizing public health in doing so. Thank you, Kathleen Hearn, MSN-Ed, RN
