    DOA/CPR

    Going crazy over here

    Alright, sorry let me rephrase my question. I'll pretty much say what the book says because I really dont understand it.

    How long is the national registry?

    So how long is it normally? How much do I need to memorize/know? I have been looking through my book and I was thinking "How am i going to learn all this stuff for a test?" I have just been stressing over it.. I just need to know what to expect is all.
