CPR Training with American Red Cross

Posted by The Nebraska School Nurse Association on

A message from our partners at American Red Cross- 

Many schools in Nebraska, and across the country, are facing the elimination of their CPR training programs due to the AHA mandate that requires the use of feedback manikins. These manikins are expensive and most school budgets just do not have the funds to buy them.

  1. The American Red Cross does NOT require the use of feedback manikins. While we recommend their use, and offer Big Red LED feedback manikins, we recognize that requiring their use creates an unnecessary financial burden on many schools and training organizations.
  1. Instructors can convert their certifications to the American Red Cross at NO CHARGE.
  1. We offer many programs and special pricing for schools, including CPR, First Aid, Babysitting Training and more.

 The American Red Cross is eager to work with you to preserve CPR education in NE schools.
