I had a positive experience using Safety Training Seminars for my BLS renewal…read more This was my first BLS training that was not led by an instructor. TBH I was a little unsure how it would turn out. However, the VAM (Voice Assisted Manikin) system was super easy to navigate and I loved how the VAM provides personalized feedback on your depth and rate during compression/breath. The company also does a really good job of providing all the instructions you may need. There is a video on their website on how to access the suite and multiple videos available providing you tips on how to successfully pass the exam with the VAM.

Before coming in I didn't know what to expect but glad I did this vs having an instructor (no offense all the STS instructors I've had in the past we're great).

The old Asian lady with glasses who worked in the evening shift as the front desk lady was…read moreconstantly portraying herself as a nice person but you could tell she was just putting on that appearance to sound professional but her actions were anything but. She went and reported me to someone on her personal number after barely checking in and asking her a question. After waiting for nearly half an hour I had to ask that lady a couple times how much longer it was going to be and If I didn't in soon I was going to leave but I told her I needed a paper to leave my email and phone so someone could take my info and delete my acct. the last 4 times I was here I always had to wait a long time to go in to donate. I said I didn't want to come back and was trying to leave and was pretty upset by then. So thìs old Russian lady (maybe) came out and was saying I couldn't be upset there and to come with her. I told her I was trying to leave my info so someone can remove me from the system. Somehow she dragged me to the intake room and forced me to give her all my details. She wanted to see my arms and I was embarrassed of my severe eczema rash's, scars, and scabs but she kept insisting and said I was a drug addict she needed to check my skin. I got up quickly and said excuse me????? She kept assuming I was a user. I wanted to leave but she just ket insisting I stay and finish the process. I was forced to show her my eczema and very embarrassed but I did lift up my jacket sleeves and barely showed her. She tried to lift my sleeve and check my arms and kept insisting she needed to see both arms. She offended me and kept pushing I stay. She yanked my thumb and placed in this medical ring and later claimed it was to check iron. My "iron" was a little short and said I was not eligible to donate but had the tenacity to say I could come back tomorrow. I could tell she was a liar because I have stopped using my weight loss injection since mid January this year and I asked if what she said was true then how come I had more iron while still on my weight loss injection and always qualified to donate. Thìs was her way to shut me up or calm me down but because of her and this uncomfortable asian lady at the front; patients in need of healthy will have one less unit to help keep them alive. It is very unfortunate the evening staff are "short staffed" but it's still no reason to overbook people for the same slots when there aren't enough technicians. The American Red Cross were quite pleasant in the beginning but since the time before last and this last one, things have gone downhill quite a bit. I was severely bruised up for the first time ever by a young male technician and I thought I was never coming back but they kept sending me desperate emails asking me to donate again. So I did but after my experience last night, I'm convinced they don't need my help and think lying to me and stalling my time is okay but it's not. They were phonies in my opinion and don't deserve to represent American Red Cross. Neither can do their jobs without being manipulative in the process.

Feeling disrespected as a volunteer. I volunteered with Northern California Chapter for 1-2 years…read moreabout 8-10 hours per month. Then suddenly was taken off volunteering duties without any reasons when I asked for more project responsibilities. Volunteers : Red Cross is not a job, and you do not have the level of respect that a paid job has. Constantly evaluate if your effects are being respected by your organization leaders. In my experience, volunteering at Red Cross became a bottomless pit where volunteering efforts is going only one way, then organizational leader stonewalled and gave nothing in return.

She had the best price (when paying on-line), offered several different locations and dates. I was able to find a convenient location with a training offered within two days. The registration and payment went smoothly and, two days later, I arrived for my class. As it turned out, others had either cancelled or switched to other days thereby giving me a private lesson! The videos were very informative and Deanna followed each one with additional commentary. I was able to practice on adult, child and infant CPR training mannequins. In addition to, practice with an EPI pen, bandaging an arm and used a "practice" AED machine on the adult mannequin. After the class, I was supplied with my CPR card and a keychain CPR mask. I was extremely satisfied and highly recommend Deanna for someone looking for CPR/First Aid certification.

We had the amazing opportunity to go on field trips to learn more of the equipment we may see at our future surgical sites, learned how they worked, and even got to try them out!
