UA College of Nursing Students Our Newest Immediate Responders!

This particular blog post UA College of Nursing Students Our Newest Immediate Responders! has been at first released on: ICSAVE.org website

The University of Arizona College of Nursing now has 22 more trained and certified immediate responders among their ranks! On Tuesday, November 28th, these aspiring medical professionals completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control Certification. Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these future nurses now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life!

Community groups such as ICSAVE and the Southern Arizona Stop the Bleed Coalition came in and hosted some great educational workshops and teachers helped the students write letters to send to Southern Arizona servicemen and women who are away from their families. One of the values of the Amphitheater School District is Service to Community. The students look forward to this event from the first day of school. It gives them a sense of pride and what it means to give during this Thanksgiving week.

Texas Church Shooting Donations

The first publication of Texas Church Shooting Donations was done on: http://www.icsave.org

At least 26 people were killed and 20 others were injured when a gunman opened fire at a church in the small town of Sutherland Springs, Texas, during a service Sunday. Spanning from 18 months old to 77 years old, the victims of the shooting had gathered for a Sunday morning service at the First Baptist Church, where members of the community attended regular church services and, recently, a Halloween festival with games, candy and costumes. The victims included the 14-year-old daughter of the church’s pastor, as well as eight members of the same family that spanned three generations. Some victims are still recovering from gunshot wounds in neighboring hospitals, and many families are grappling with the loss of their loved ones. The mass shooting has become one of the deadliest incidents in modern U.S. history. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has said it is the largest mass shooting in the state’s history. The violent massacre comes just a month after a gunman shot and killed 58 people at a music festival in Las Vegas.

Donate blood to the victims of the Texas church shooting

To help the victims and their loved ones, officials in Sutherland Springs are urging people to donate money in specific people’s names and donate blood, especially if you are O-Negative or O-positive. For those living in the area, a number of blood drives are being held over the next few days to help the victims recovering from gunshot wounds in the hospital. A representative from Connally Memorial Medical Center, where eight victims from the shooting were originally sent for care, shared details of the upcoming blood drives with MONEY.

Here’s where and when you can donate blood:

Sunday, Nov. 12 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Floresville, Texas Sunday, Nov. 12 at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Elmendorf, Texas Tuesday, Nov. 21 at Connally Memorial Medical Center 9 a.m. CST to 1 p.m. CST

Donate money to the victims of the Texas church shooting

While the church could not be immediately reached for comment, interested donors can give money directly to the First Baptist Church through its website or Facebook page. Donors can donate funds to the church with their credit cards, debit cards or PayPal accounts here, or using the Facebook “donate” tab on the church’s page here.

Audrey Louis, the Wilson County District Attorney, said at a news conference Monday that two bank accounts are currently being set up to accept donations for the families of the victims. Those bank accounts will be through the Sutherland Springs Community Association with Commerce Bank in Stockdale, Texas, and Wells Fargo Bank.

So far, GoFundMe has verified two fundraising pages in wake of the shooting. One of those pages is gathering funds to help the Holcombe family, who lost eight members of their family as a result of the shooting. According to the fundraising page, the money will be given to a member of the family named Sarah Slavin, who lost her father, mother, pregnant sister-in-law and five nieces and nephews as a result of the attack. The other verified page is also raising money for that family, particularly for Crystal Holcombe, the pregnant mother, and three of her children.

To the victims affected by this tragedy, you are in our thoughts and prayers. From our ICSAVE Family to yours, we will NEVER forget you nor your strength in the face of this horrible event!
