I'm BLS and ACLS certified.

Acronym interpreter please.

BLS =

ACLS =

[BikersCage]

BLS = Basic Life Saver
ACLS = Iunno...

[RockinX]

BLS = Basic Life Saver
ACLS = Iunno...

Further translation: 
     Iunno = Idunno (I don't know)

Or, although not as cool:
     ACLS = Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support

[Toro]

BLS = Basic Life Support= CPR + defib usage
ACLS = Advanced Cardiac Life Support

Both through the American Red Cross.

Okay, call me dense, I looked around on the AAT site and couldn't find this form. Ghost, is this something we get from you? Or do we download and email it to someone at AAT?  Sorry. Just one of those days for me from wearing my morning coffee and shortly thereafter followed by wearing my hand sanitizer...

If I have to attend one more sexual harrassment meeting, I swear I'll cry like a flat chested fatty on prom night

This is one of those rhetorical things that get me in trouble too, right!

I have enrolled in the March 16th First Aid course.  Actually because I want to take the ChainSaw training (I guess that is incase I whack my foot with the chainsaw I'll know what to do  )

Anybody else interested?  I think it will be great knowledge to have on the trail.

Information about this:
http://sbnfaid.org/2013/smf/index.php/topic,7.0.html

The Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED course incorporates the latest science and teaches students to recognize and care for a variety of first aid emergencies such as burns, cuts, scrapes, sudden illnesses, head, neck, back injuries, heat and cold emergencies and how to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies to help victims of any age - adults (about 12 years and older) and pediatric (infants and children up to 12 years of age).

Students who successfully complete this course will receive an American Red Cross certificate for Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED valid for two years.
