Hello all. Hopefully this is the right place to post this.
I am looking for advice on getting some better first aid training. My local Red Cross has been very unhelpful when I called.
I'm a teacher. I want to be better prepared for the various injuries that happen when you take a group of students anywhere. I have been teaching high school and middle school, with a field course for high school kids out west each summer. I just took a group whale watching for the weekend and ended up with a broken arm, a finger smashed in a door, and spectacular food poisoning.
We had to wait around for the ambulance to get there and I realized that I don't really know what to do.
I do have CPR already, and keep that updated. What type of classes should I be taking to learn more first aid? What type of organizations would offer these classes? I don't mind paying, or commuting a class that takes a while to complete. I'm in Washington, DC.
Thanks in advance for your help
