Action CPR

I had the opportunity to take a BLS renewal class with Joanne. Her approach is very simple and effective. She teaches from her home, and my class only had one other person in it. The class was short and sweet and I left more confident than I had with any other CPR class in the past. She taught by demonstration and the class was very interactive. I feel like I am walking away with CPR knowledge and the skills to actually perform under pressure. I appreciated the personal touches of her own home and the small class size. Furthermore, the class is much more affordable than any other in the area. You can’t go wrong. I am leaving the state for nursing school but once I return for a job I will be a regular! Thanks, Joanne!

I am a lazy student. I prefer staying in bed dressed in PJs to take a webinar over attending a class in person any day. So, I groaned when I received a notice that I was required to take a live class this year in order to renew my BLS training. I searched online and came across Joanne’s website and signed up due to the glowing testimonials. $ 55 cash (healthcare provider cost) got me an intimate 2 hour class session consisting of 4 students with Joanne in the comfort of her home. While that may seem short, Joanne is a no-​nonsense instructor who keeps CPR practical, interesting, and to the point. She cuts out all the irrelevant and outdated material. She provided handouts with common sense knowledge highlighting key ideas. The class was very hands on, while Joanne individually assessed each student’s ability to perform the skills taught on the manikins. If we made errors, she meticulously guided us through our missteps before moving on to the next topic. At the end of class, we took the CPR test with around 25 questions. Some questions were very tricky but I passed thanks to Joanne. The tests were graded immediately and certificates were handed out. A few weeks later, I got the CPR card in the mail. The website mentions that with groups of four or more, Joanne can travel to you and even out of state! If only my sophomore English teacher in high school had Joanne’s teaching style and dedication perhaps I wouldn’t have mastered daydreaming. Joanne’s class verified that I indeed am capable of learning at my age even when I have the attention span of a gold fish.
