    Frequently Asked Questions about First Aid

    First aid is the help given to someone suffering from an injury that helps the condition from getting worse. First aid helps you provide care in emergency situations and gives you an understanding of the best practices to use on various conditions. First aid minimizes injury and, in serious cases, will keep the victim alive while help arrives.‎

    It's important to learn first aid so you can be prepared to help save lives in unexpected situations. Whether you are thinking about going into a career in the medical field or not, first aid will give you a basic understanding of what to do if someone is injured and needs help. What you learn can be taken into a medical, psychological, or self-care practice to mitigate stressful situations. Learning first aid can also guide you into a specific medical area of interest. As you learn more you may discover new skills and other areas to explore that you can later go further into.‎

    Learning first aid is the basis for any health care or medical field opportunity but can take you in many directions. Knowledge of first aid is also necessary to be a flight attendant and childcare provider where you will use active and reflective listening skills to assess the situation and provide a quick and efficient solution to help the victim. If you are looking for medical career opportunities, first aid is the first thing you will need. This will help you become an EMT, nurse technician, or firefighter.‎

    You don't need any experience or special skills to begin learning first aid. These courses will give you everything you need to gain the right understanding of what to do in emergent situations.
