Today, my sister, a friend, and I went to a CPR class. It was held in SF and we drove up there together. The class started with us watching a video, and then we started the practical part.
We paired up and each got a dummy to work on. The dummies were really strange. At firs they had no faces, and then we had to put the faces on. The dummy we had had a dark body, but we were given a Caucasian face. It honestly kind of creeped me out!
We did TONS of practice compressions and breaths. It was actually quite tiring. And then, just when I thought we were done, it was time to practice on infants. We all switched out our dummies and this time we got a dummy with a white body and a dark face; not quite as creepy, but still strange. It was much harder to do the practice on the small body.
At the end of the class we had to take an exam – 25 multiple choice questions. Some of the questions were bizarre, but I ended up passing just fine. So, now I am certified in CPR.
