With the theme, "Be a Life Saver in Critical Situations", the session included learning proper process for applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), foreign body airway obstruction, and bandaging techniques.
Sendric N. Pasian, SVS Grade 12 class president, expressed gratitude to the nursing students for conducting the activity. He said he can now confidently respond to certain health emergencies.
“Kung meron mang ma-injure, hindi na ako magiging bystander, kaya ko nang tumulong,” Pasian said.
[If someone gets injured, I will no longer be a bystander, I can help.]
Kathrina L. Llopis, a 4th year nursing student, shared that they have initiated the activity to help the younger students learn a vital life skill that they can use when dealing with medical emergencies.
“Student-initiated itong activity and we want that before we graduate ket we can impart some BLS knowledge sa mga students. I hope na meron silang natutunan sa pa-training naming, and through this magiging more engaging sila sa mga next pa na similar activities,” she said.
[The activity is student-initiated. We want that before we graduate, we can impart some BLS knowledge to the students. I hope that they can learn from our training, and through this they become more engaged in similar activities in the future.]
The training is aligned with the Republic Act. No. 10871 series of 2016, which requires basic education students to undergo age-appropriate basic life support training. (VJLT-PIA Mt. Province)
