Every couple of minutes, someone suffers sudden cardiac arrest. 95% of these victims are dead before they make it to the Emergency Room doors. In North Carolina, the Governor is trying to change that statistic. She’s signed a bill that requires all highschoolers to be CPR trained prior to receiving their diploma. Is it a good or bad idea and why do you feel the way you do?
Keep in mind that ProTrainings.com has already implemented a program that offers CPR training and certification to all high school students for FREE! ProTrainings.com and the StudentsTrainFree.com program reported that over 3000 high schoolers this year alone have already been trained and certified. If you know of any school desiring to implement a similar program, please contact ProTrainings.com and ask for the Student CPR department.
