I am CPR-certified

With aching shoulders, strained arms and thighs and a bruise on my knee...I am officially CPR certified. :) Never knew pumping into a mannequin's chest and giving 2 ventilations every 30 compressions for 5 cycles in 2 mins can be so tiring. Maybe i am just plain unfit.

Anyways the mannequin is super cool, every compression you make, the right spot, the depth of your compression, if you let go fully, the no of counts, the extent of your ventilation etc all can be measured with the ember and green light going off - as the passing std. I had to do a theory and pratical test on the same day that I was given the notes and hands on with Resusci Anne,(interesting read btw) within those 8 hrs, have to say glad that I made it with the rest of the class.

To finish something that I set out to do 1 year ago, man I have to say I took too long a time.
