Rather, they run through 2 hours worth of scenarios with mannequins. Eat your Wheaties before you go because at the end of the day, you'll have done ~600 compressions 3. Knowledgable (and did I mention adorable?) EMT instructors. They were nice, funny, and provided good feedback during the exercises. 4. 25 Question Quiz at the end - they teach you everything you need to know to pass.

I got there early and they were able to get me started. Use their app to update your info ahead of time (I did it while standing there, just took a few minutes, but could save you time.) I hadn't donated in awhile, so they filled me in on changes (the app, some exercises, etc.) Everything went smoothly. Hang out for snacks afterwards.

We used 48 blood products from the Red Cross including blood, platelets and FFP. The man survived to get to a transplant center and is doing well. We had to go on trauma diversion because we had no blood products we used everything in the Red Cross was able to get us blood products within five hours so we could then help save traumas again. Donating really does save lives. This man can now possibly live a full life.

I highly recommend coming here for BLS or ACLS classes since the instructors are very knowledgeable…read moreand make everything extremely easy to understand. Both the BLS and ACLS classes take about 2 hours each which is super convenient. You walk out of the class with the actual BLS or ACLS cards so there's no wait to get them in the mail later on. The instructors also give out great power points so that you can review the class material so you can be prepared for the test. What I liked the most is that you don't have to take the ACLS test online were you have the do 20 codes which will take you hours to complete! Highly recommend!!

I was greeted nicely, temp taken, given hand sanitizer and then taken to a room for my health check. I had done the Red Cross rapid pass so it went quickly. I had an iv in both arms for this two hour appt. zero problems getting that going . I had to stop after I was about 60% done. I just did not feel well all of a sudden. Other folks around me did just fine with the same procedure so don't let that discourage or scare you off. The staff reacted quickly and kindly . I had some water and smart popcorn in their snack area. Great facility and staff. Thank you !( but I think I'll stick with whole blood donation )

This is the main office in Columbus, and I guess I figured it would be a busy place to give blood…read more It's not, at least, it wasn't on a Monday. Small blood drive area upstairs, a steady stream of people but only a couple of us at a time. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I did the fast-pass thing online and that does save some time, but there are still a lot of questions here, plus blood pressure, etc. Did the power red for the first time. A little slower than a regular donation, because it pulls blood out and separates it, then rehydrates you. So maybe helps recovery time. Still sat and had a snack afterwards, just in case. If you are able, this is a simple, easy thing to do that helps a lot of people. Plus you get a snack, and usually a gift like a t-shirt, gift card, etc. I do it because my dad did, and then after 9/11 it felt like my duty to help. Plus blood drives at work meant an hour break!

I started volunteering with the American Red Cross of Greater Columbus over two years ago. In that…read moretime I have had the opportunity to honor First Responders, Veterans, and Volunteers through the 2018 Heroes Gala. We honored outstanding people who went above and beyond to help their community in their chosen field. One of the most fun events I participated in was the Sound the Alarm program in which we tested and replaced smoke detectors throughout the Greater Columbus area. This was a great opportunity to volunteer in a small group, meet amazing people, make new friends, and help to make sure our neighbors were protected and had plans to evacuate their home in case of a fire. I am currently working with the Recruitment Team to bring awareness to the various opportunities the Red Cross has to help alleviate human suffering. Whether it is by volunteering as a Blood Donor Ambassador, working at Blood Drives, or volunteering to drive in our Blood Transportation area, it allows people to be a part of helping to save countless lives. There are also opportunities in Disaster Response and Relief to help be the best part of a person's worst day. From major natural disasters to a home fire in the middle of the night, these dedicated volunteers are always ready to respond. I am honored to play a part in recruiting new volunteers and seeing them flourish and gain a sense of satisfaction by helping. The American Red Cross of Greater Columbus is an amazing organization and I am so glad that I began to volunteer and know that I will continue to volunteer for many years to come.

At first, I was very excited to find this company because the reviews were great! A little over one…read moreweek before my class, I received a call that an instructor was no longer available for the date I scheduled for. I get it...things happen. Then, they did not have a class I was able to attend before my ACLS expired. AND to top it all off, no refund because 'we don't do refunds and we offer rescheduling.' I'm a travel nurse, so the rescheduling was not an option. This class was $200. I had to book elsewhere, HOWEVER, the class I found was same accreditation and ONLY $75. I thought this was EXTREMELY POOR customer service from a company that exists purely to help medical professionals who serve the public. UPDATE- After posting three negative reviews of CPR Columbus, I received a call from Emily, the office manager, and was given a full refund. Thank you.
