BLS for Healthcare Providers

[medicRob]

I took some time before the class to read the book and learn the theory of what I was doing then practiced. I think it made for a great experience and I had a great time while learning.
And as John said, it takes an extreme amount of effort to fail the class heh
So I'm BLS certified and passed my physical-just going to drop it off tomorrow and set up my first shift-Thanks for all the advice guys

No, it's quite possible to fail it, but most instructors are nice enough to allow you to review what you got wrong and remediate the skill before the end of the class, saving you from having to pay the class fee and sit through it again. Just make sure to understand the overall concepts at a fundamental level that are being taught, and MOST IMPORTANTLY DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS. I've discovered in the short time that I've been an instructor that the best classes are the ones where students are asking a lot of questions.

Do this, and you'll be fine.

Remember to stop drinking at least 8 hours before the class. Short of gross stupidity, nerves or being drunk (I've seen it) there are few explanations for failing a CPR class.
