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!

Giving Thanks! Students at Amphitheater Middle School continued their Pre-Thanksgiving tradition of participating in Kindness Day.

They learned Bleeding Control skills, made friendship bracelets for TMC for Children, blankets for sick children who are recipients of Project Linus, placemats for The Salvation Army, learned about kindness towards animals, and much more. 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.
