My teacher said it is 15 questions and I am worried because there is a lot of information. I read the manual but I am not sure if I will remember all of it after all I can only get 4 wrong.

Does the Red Cross offer pet first aid classes in your town? They just started to here and I thought it was a great idea.

What is the "Driver Frist Aid" certificate certified by Red Cross? There seem to be various certifications provided by Red Cross and I am quite confused! Coz they all seem similar. My mom, however, obtained the so-called "Driver First Aid" certificate (but she doesn't do driving as her job or career, but a yoga teacher)! I am just wondering is it the right certification for her, or does this certificate provide general knowledge of emergency handling? If so, why is it called "Driver"????

CPR - First Aid Certification, where can I go to get them other than Red Cross? A few years ago when I taught Pre School we always had a slip of paper that had a long list of classes for CPR and First Aid.

Does anyone know how I can find a list of classes in the Cleveland area?
Anyone else upset that the Red Cross was there to aid with Jena March in Louisiana? I dont believe it was a "disaster" situation that needed Red Cross funds, do you? Please email them and tell them you will not tolerate a miss-use of funds that way! To: dat251flava. Anyone that has "flava" in their avatar is obviously stupid to begin with...enough said. I wont waste my time on anything more with you. How was the march?
Has anyone here been certified in CPR or Basic First Aid by the Red Cross? I'm one of two "First Responders" on my shift at work, and we recently had to be re-certified by the Red Cross. My only duty in that position so far? I got to clean out blood from one of our mixing machines at work (and off the floor!) after some tool sliced his finger on it. Of course, I also had to sanitize the thing as we are a pharmaceutical industry. Anyone else here in the same position of First Responder at their workplace? Thanks for adding to my poll's sampling.

Why is Israel attacking red cross and UN aid? I don't believe whats happening and the whole world is watching Israel which is one of the strongest military forces kill over 700 Palestinians and wounding 3000. Today they attacked UN aid trucks and killed the drivers. Also red cross members came across children staying next to their dead mothers after their apartment building was destroyed. Dont watch CNN or FOX, you will not hear anything about this. Just read yahoo news about the catastrophe that is happening. Israel is saying they are defending themselves from Hamas which is a militant group fighting for the occupation. It actually looks like Israel is on the offensive by just reading whats in the news. And the US is not only allowing this top happen but also resisting the cease fire rule. Is the whole world blind and deaf about the terrorism that is going on?

Is the Red Cross Wrong in the Advice they Give on Diabetic Emergencies? I just got a new job in a gym and part of my training was to become Red Cross certified in First Aid. My instructor said if a person is a known diabetic, giving them more sugar water won't hurt them. I come from a diabetic family (mom, dad, grandma, and 3 sisters) so I know a little about the disease. Couldn't you potentially kill someone by giving them more sugar and their level is too high already? I tried to make this point to my instructor and she just ignored me and kept going with the lesson. Am I wrong to be upset that the Red Cross is potentially training people in the wrong info on how to treat a diabetic? I would appreciate any and all help with this matter.

Why did Israel prevent Red Cross ambulances going to the aid of Palestinian babies... ? ...who were still clinging to their dead and dying mothers after Israeli shelling ? 'The group said the Israeli army refused rescuers permission to reach the site in the Zaytun neighbourhood for four days. Once Red Cross teams reached the area yesterday, they found four small children next to their dead mothers at one home. They were too weak to stand up on their own. One man was also found alive, too weak to stand up. In all, there were at least 12 corpses lying on mattresses. In another house, a rescue team found 15 survivors, including several wounded. In yet another home, rescuers found three bodies. Israeli soldiers posted at a military position nearby ordered the rescue team to leave the area, which it refused to do' Source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/08/gaza-israel-palestinian-territories

The quote below is from the Red Cross/Crescent website-Your Opinion Please? Our mission and role "The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is the world's largest humanitarian organization, providing assistance without discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. " Since there are countries that will only accept the Red Crescent branch and not the Red Cross in for aid assistance-should money contributed to the Red Cross be used to support the Red Crescent? The organization claims not to discriminate against religion.

My father cut himself about 3 hours ago and will not stop bleeding. Should I take him to the ER? I am Red Cross first aid certified and have bandaged it up snugly with my first aid kit. The cut doesn't look deep enough for stitches to me but he takes plavix and aspirin every day due to heart problems so I'm supposed to expect a delay for bleeding to stop, but how long? I should have mentioned that my father refuses to go to the ER. Seeking medical attention will entail calling an ambulance and the police when he refuses to go. I try only to put him, my 2 young children, my husband and myself through this emotional trauma when absolutely necessary. You can only help someone so much when they don't want help.

Why are you guys comparing the Red Cross to religious groups that proselytize whilst giving aid? The Red Cross is a secular organization, isn’t it? It doesn’t promote any religion, right?

Why is there no sign of aid from places like Iran or the Red Crescent all the aid seems to come from Europe or the USA.

Is it me? Why does It seem like the media is mainly focusing on the aid that the Red Cross and Doctors...? without Borders is giving to Haiti now. It is good that they are their but many other charities has been there before the earthquake and are there now. Those two aren't the only organization.
