Starting Your CNA Training: What to Know Before You Begin

by

Training as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is a huge deal. It’s the first step toward a career in the medical field, where you get to help people every day. It’s one of the most selfless, rewarding job paths you can follow. However, there are a few things to know before you begin, including what a CNA does, what requirements you need to start, and what CNA training entails. While CNA training is short, it’s intense—and there’s a checklist you need to meet first.

With years of experience working with CNA students in training, our team at HeartCert is well-versed in the ins and outs of this rewarding profession. Whether you’re starting your CNA training now or in the future, we’ll tell you what to know before you begin.

What Does a CNA Do?

By now, you probably already have a rough idea of what a CNA is and what they do for a career. If you don’t, this section is for you.

A CNA is a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who helps with basic patient care in a hospital setting. This might include helping patients eat their food, bathing them, assisting them in the bathroom, getting them in and out of bed, helping them with walking, and more. Basically, a CNA is someone who helps patients who don’t have full mobility complete their daily tasks—especially if they are bedridden and unable to care for themselves.

Should You Become a CNA?

If you love helping people, being a CNA could be a dream come true. However, there’s a lot more to it than just helping people. Oftentimes, the people you’re responsible for in the hospital need a lot of assistance with their day-to-day lives. Being a CNA means you’re juggling multiple patients at a time, treating people with care and respect, and putting up with both their good and bad days (even on the days when you’re not feeling like it).

The want to help people and care for them is the number one priority in being a CNA, but you should also be willing to put on a brave face and fully commit to the training. It’s not something you want to slack off on. When the day comes that you’re certified, you need to know crucial medical information and how to save your patient if a medical emergency happens.

What Are the Basic Requirements to Start CNA Training?

Unfortunately, not everyone can be a CNA unless they meet the basic requirements. To be able to start CNA training, you need to meet and complete the following:

  • Be at least 16 years old when you start your training
  • Get your diploma or GED (for some programs)
  • Take CPR training classes and show proof of your certification (required by most employers)
  • Complete background check and physical

Most CNA programs require CPR and/or BLS training before your clinical hours begin. If everything else lines up, but you don’t have this training complete, there are fast ways to complete the training. Here at HeartCert, we offer in-person training and virtual courses to get you started. If you’re eager to get started, don’t wait—schedule your class today before spots fill up.

What Does CNA Training Include?

Depending on whether you opt for full-time or part-time training, CNA courses usually only take a few weeks to complete, but can take upwards of a few months if you spread out the coursework. Here at HeartCert, we offer all-day classes to help you get certified in just a few weeks. Our CNA training courses and many others include:

  • Blended learning style for optimum information retention

Why Coaches Should Learn CPR Before the Season Starts

by

As great as sports can be, it’s not all fun and games at all times. If you’re a coach, you have a huge responsibility to keep your team safe before the season begins. No matter what precautions you take, emergencies can still happen, and it’s important to be prepared. Discover why coaches should learn CPR before the season starts and equip yourself with the best tools to keep your kids safe in every situation that arises.

The Importance of Emergency Preparedness for Sports

You can be the best coach in the world, and accidents can still happen. That’s why it’s so important to prepare for emergencies before they occur. Emergency preparedness for any sport is crucial to caring for your team and ensuring they have the tools to feel safe.

CPR is one of the most important lessons you can learn to keep your team safe this season—especially if you take a combination first aid and CPR course. This combination course allows you to learn the basics so you can utilize the tools any time you need them—in both training and sports events.

When you’re training on your own, there’s no EMT present, and it’s more crucial than ever to have emergency response tools equipped in your head. Even at sports events when an EMT is present, it’s still important to have these tools. You’re the only one who’s present with your team at all times—in the locker room, on the bus, at a restaurant, etc. Preparing for an emergency where someone might stop breathing or get an injury on your watch can quite literally save a life. You know your team better than anyone, and you’ll be the first to know if they need help if an emergency happens.

Emergencies Can Happen at Any Time

Emergencies can happen anywhere—during practice, at sporting events, in the middle of team meals, on the bus—and the common denominator is the coach. A coach is the one who is always present and is the first one to respond in an emergency. Learning CPR is a huge step in protecting your team to the best of your ability.

In an ideal world, you’d never be put in an emergency situation. However, when you’re the sole person responsible for an entire team, there are no promises. Anything can happen at any time.

Equipping yourself with the highest education and the proper tools is the best way to keep your team safe. If someone bumps their head, stops breathing, or simply gets a minor injury, you’ll be the first one available (and able) to protect them with knowledge of CPR and first aid until professional help arrives.

Coaches Are the First Line of Defense

As a coach, you’re the closest one to your team. Whether you’re practicing, coaching at a sporting event, staying with them for away games or meets, or on the bus traveling to events, you’re the first person they rely on and the adult they know best (and who knows them just as well). You’re the closest one to your team (literally, especially when parents are watching from afar), and you know your players well. Sometimes, you’re closer than EMTs, and you’re the first one who can tell when something is wrong.

CPR Saves Lives—And It’s Easier Than You Think

No one wants to have to utilize CPR in their lives. It’s a scary situation, and you take on so much responsibility in a single moment. However, there’s also so much that could go wrong if you don’t learn to equip yourself with the knowledge of CPR and first aid practices. In an emergency, it can be scary if you don’t know what to do, and CPR can, quite literally, save lives—and it’s a lot easier than you might think.

“What goes into CPR?” you might ask. Here’s a quick summary of the basics that you would learn in a CPR course:

  • Recognizing cardiac arrest (unresponsiveness, weak pulse, etc.)
  • Applying chest compressions (proper hand depth, pacing, etc.)
  • Learning rescue breaths (mouth-to-mouth)
  • First aid skills (sometimes included in a CPR course)

In more specialized or advanced courses, you can also learn:

  • How to use an AED
  • Advanced CPR skills
  • And more

Set the Standard for a Team Rooted in Care and Safety

When you’re responsible for a whole team of kids or adults, you want to show you care and that you’re keeping them safe. The best way to set the standards for both your team and their parents is to get CPR-certified, so you can reassure everyone you’re prepared in any situation. This often sets a higher standard for other coaches to match and makes you stand out as someone who is both trustworthy and credible. Both parents and your team will appreciate the level of care and expertise gained.

Meet Standard Coaching Requirements

Not only is getting your CPR certification helpful, but it’s also sometimes required in certain coaching positions. Especially in more dangerous or high-contact sports like football, wrestling, hockey, swimming, etc. While CPR isn’t always required in specific states, certain schools might still mandate it according to their preferences and specific sports. If you’re not sure whether it’s a requirement, speak to your employer to ask more questions. Either way, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and get certified so you can keep your team safe in any situation thrown your way.

Get CPR-Certified Before the Season Starts

Understanding why coaches should learn CPR before the season starts is a great first step to being informed in emergency situations. The next step is learning more information or registering for a course.

Here at HeartCert CPR, we offer individual sign-up options, group courses, and even virtual CPR courses. Whether you’re a coach or the head of a school who needs to enlist your coaches, we can help. Our expert instructors can guide you through the class to help you gain your certification(s) in no time. Ready to register today?

What Is CPR?

CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is the life-saving response someone can perform to keep blood pumping and keep someone alive until more advanced measures take place. Oftentimes, CPR is used as an emergency response to:

  • Cardiac arrest
  • Choking
  • Electrocution
  • Drug overdoses
  • Suffocation
  • Drowning

The goal of CPR is to keep a person’s blood flowing and respond in an emergency to improve someone’s odds of surviving. Oftentimes, the practice occurs until a regular heartbeat returns or until help arrives. In the scope of training, it’s often accompanied by learning other life-saving techniques and first-aid responses, depending on which course you take.

CPR Certification Types

To understand just how long CPR takes to get certified, it’s important to know what goes into each course and certification. Here are the main CPR certifications and what the classes offer:

Basic CPR and First Aid Training

Basic CPR and first aid training covers the basics in an emergency situation. It entails how to apply chest compressions, enact rescue breathing, and respond to choking. On top of that, it also covers the basics in emergency responses and wound care.

CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) Training

CPR and AED courses include the basics of utilizing both cardiopulmonary resuscitation and how to use an automated external defibrillator. While this might seem more intensive than other courses, it only takes around four hours to learn the essentials.

BLS (Basic Life Support) Training

Basic life support (BLS) courses are a bit more intensive than the CPR essentials, but they still only take 4-6 hours, with renewal courses taking half the time. This advanced training is geared towards health professionals who need to get certified in their field.

ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) Training

Advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) is the most comprehensive course that medical professionals can take to learn the proper response in an emergency. Not only does it include the fundamentals of CPR, but it also touches on advanced life support techniques, such as how to manage cardiopulmonary arrest and cardiovascular events. It teaches early recognition and management in emergencies, including:

  • Responding to respiratory and cardiac arrest, peri-arrest conditions, ACS, and strokes
  • Related pharmacology
  • Opening airways
  • How to lead and support a resuscitation team

How Long Do CPR Classes Take?

Now, the question you’ve been waiting for: How long do CPR classes take? The average CPR class takes just four hours to learn the basics. However, if you’re learning more advanced courses, such as advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), that could take a day or two and lasts three times as long as the base course, as it involves more intensive training. For most people and medical professionals, however, CPR is relatively quick and easy. Around four hours of learning is all it takes to get certified to save a life.

Types of Training and CPR Courses

Now that you have a better understanding of how long CPR courses are expected to take, you might be wondering what types of courses are available. Many establishments offer a variety of in-person and online courses and applications to help you get your CPR certification. Here are a few types of training and CPR courses that we offer at HeartCert:

10 Early Signs of a Heart Attack You Should Never Ignore

by

While some heart attacks come on suddenly and without warning, some are followed by a set of warning signs. Whether you’re at a high risk age for a heart attack or you work with individuals prone to heart attacks, it’s important to be aware of the signs to better prepare yourself. Some people can experience early warning signs of heart attacks hours, days, or even weeks before it happens. Today, we’re going to discuss the 10 early signs of a heart attack you should never ignore (whether it’s for yourself or those around you).

Who is Most Susceptible to Heart Attacks?

One of the first signs to look out for is age. Men over 45 and women over 50 are more likely to be at risk for heart problems than someone younger, but it’s also not impossible for younger individuals to experience them. Those with a history of heart disease are also more at risk. Other risk factors include:

  • Having diabetes
  • Being overweight
  • Smoking
  • Not being physically active
  • Eating unhealthy foods

 

10 Early Signs of a Heart Attack

There are a few early signs to be aware of for yourself and others that may be in the early stages of a heart attack. Here are some of the problems to look out for:

1. Chest Pain

Prior to having a heart attack, one of the most common symptoms is pain or discomfort in your chest. There may be tightness or pressure, and the feeling happens when you’re doing something physical or not doing anything. If the pain continues and doesn’t go away after a few minutes, call 911. With that being said, not everyone experiences pain before a heart attack.

2. Snoring and Lingering Coughs

While these seem like common occurrences, both snoring and an ongoing cough can point toward heart problems.

If you know heart problems run in your family and have a cough that won’t let up, this can be a sign that something more is happening. Especially if you’re coughing up white or pink mucus. When the heart can’t keep up, it causes blood to leak into the lungs.

While snoring is common for a lot of people, if you’re noticing gasping or choking sounds while you sleep or moments where you stop breathing, this puts extra stress on your heart. If this sounds like you or someone you know, a CPAP machine can help with your breathing and alleviate stress on your heart while you sleep.

3. Lightheadedness or Dizziness

While there are normal things that can cause lightheadedness or dizziness, be cognisant when you’re experiencing random symptoms of this. If you feel like you might fall over, have a shortness of breath, and are experiencing pain or discomfort in your chest, this is often the perfect trifecta of a heart attack. If you or someone else is experiencing these symptoms, call 911.

4. Pain or General Discomfort (Specifically, on the Left Side)

Pain on the left side of the body, around the chest, or arm can be a sign of a heart attack. Other pains that you might be experiencing include throat and jaw pain that stem from the center of your chest and spread upward. If you’re experiencing anything abnormal or hear about these symptoms from someone else, it could be a sign that medical intervention is needed.

5. Abnormal Heartbeat

Having an irregular heartbeat during excitable moments is normal, but experiencing random skips in your heart or irregular heart palpitations is not. Especially when they are accompanied by chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. If you or someone else has a combination of these symptoms, making an appointment with a doctor can help save your life.

6. Heartburn, Indigestion, or Nausea

Another symptom of a potential heart attack is experiencing stomach pain, heartburn, indigestion, or nausea. This, paired with a history of heart disease, could make someone more at risk. Women are more likely than men to experience this prior to a heart attack, but both genders are susceptible.

7. Breaking Out in a Cold Sweat

If you or someone else is breaking out in a cold sweat for no reason, this could also be a sign of heart problems. Combined with other symptoms, this could be a precursor to bigger heart problems that you’re unaware of. If you break out in a cold sweat along with other symptoms on this list, call 911 immediately to get checked out.

8. Feeling Weak or Exhausted

If normal tasks are suddenly feeling like too much, this is a huge sign of heart problems. Whether you’re climbing stairs, grabbing the mail, or carrying groceries, if you’re experiencing weird bouts of exhaustion, this could be a sign that your heart is at risk. Days of extreme exhaustion without having an explanation for it can often be the first precursor to an oncoming heart attack.

9. Swollen Bottom Half of Your Body

If you or someone else’s bottom half of their body (legs, feet, ankles) appears to be swollen, it could indicate that the heart is not pumping fast enough. When your heart is having issues pumping blood effectively, swollen limbs are a huge sign of these changes. If you or someone else is experiencing heart failure, the kidneys struggle to remove extra water and sodium, and this can also lead to bloating. So, if you or someone you’re around appears to have excessive bloating or any of these other symptoms, call 911 to get checked out.

10. High Risk of Heart Disease and Short of Breath

If you or someone else is at high risk of heart disease and has random experiences of shortness of breath, this can be a sign that a heart attack is oncoming. Or, at the very least, that you have a heart condition that needs attention. Randomly experiencing shortness of breath and feeling weak during normal activities alludes to the fact that something more could be going on with your heart. If you’re feeling short of breath, have a history of heart problems, and have any other risk factors, speak with your doctor ASAP.

How to Respond to a Heart Attack

Whether you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, you want to be prepared so you know how to respond to a heart attack appropriately. Here at HeartCert, we offer certified CPR training so you can learn to save someone’s life. Whether your job requires it or you simply want knowledge on the subject, our instructors will give you the tools so you know how to respond in an emergency situation.

How to Organize CPR Training for Your Employees

by

Do you know if your workforce is prepared for an emergency? You never know when or where you’ll be when the need for a medical emergency occurs, but when we spend 40+ hours in the same place each week, the probability of such an event occurring at the workplace increases.

According to the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), approximately 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur in the workplace each year in the United States.

Implementing regular CPR training sessions and ensuring easy access to AEDs are proactive steps employers can take to enhance workplace safety and preparedness. Having trained staff can make the difference between life and death in the event of a workplace emergency; in this article, you’ll learn how you can easily organize CPR training for your employees.

What Types of Businesses Should Provide CPR Training?

While every workplace can benefit from CPR-certified staff, some industries have a higher need for quick emergency response. 

Here are a few examples:

  • Healthcare & Assisted Living Facilities
  • Childcare & Education
  • Construction & Manufacturing
  • Hospitality & Food Service
  • Gyms & Fitness Centers
  • Corporate Offices
  • Retail Stores & Shopping Centers

Choose the Right CPR Course Format

Next, you’ll want to determine what type of CPR course format is ideal for your employees. For businesses and large organizations, onsite CPR training is the most common method. This makes for an engaging experience for your employees and is often viewed as a team-building experience as well. For some groups, especially small businesses or varying schedule availability, you may decide to offer your employees online CPR certification options. You’ll also want to verify if the CPR class you are considering is an AHA or Red Cross-approved course. If you’re not sure what type of course is best for your organization, you can discuss your options with the CPR and first aid training provider you are planning to work with for recommendations. 

Partner With a Certified CPR Training Provider

Working with a certified CPR training provider, such as HeartCert, makes offering group CPR classes to your employees easy. Find a reputable CPR training provider by searching for an organization that offers training near you. You’ll want a training provider that offers the class type that works best for your employees and flexible scheduling that works for your business. It may be important that the training provider offers AHA or Red Cross-approved courses or can offer OSHA classes as well. We recommend looking at reviews and testimonials that demonstrate the training provider excels at group CPR trainings for employees.

Set a Schedule and Promote the Training

Once you determine which CPR training provider is the right partner for your company, you’ll work with them to find an ideal time for your employee CPR training that minimizes workplace disruption. Depending on your industry, you may choose to require employees to attend, or you can make the training an optional perk and encourage participation. You may want to use a sign-up sheet or an online registration platform, especially if you are a larger company or are offering multiple CPR certification sessions.

Track Participation and Certification Status

If you plan to regularly offer group first aid and CPR training to your employees, you’ll want to keep records of their certifications and when they will need to renew again. Some CPR training providers, such as HeartCert, will track the status of your employee safety training and CPR certification to make the process easy and manageable. 

Schedule CPR Training For Employees

When you invest in CPR training for your employees it can be more than just a step towards compliance, it’s a way of showing a commitment to their safety and well-being. By organizing CPR certification courses, you’re empowering your team with the skills to respond during critical moments and potentially saving lives. 

Don’t wait for an emergency to highlight the importance of preparedness. Schedule your group first aid and CPR training today to promote a safer workplace and give your employees the confidence to handle unforeseen situations.
