In this class we will learn how to use a cardboard box and some tape to splint a broken arm.  We will become experts at using dish towels to make arm slings and we will know what to do with a dislocated finger or shoulder.  The class will learn the names of the bones in hands, arms and shoulder.  We will also learn about tendons and ligaments.  And, it will be fun.  Other areas covered are how to take a pulse and how to check for nerve damage on an injured limb. The class is structured with a short lecture at the beginning, followed by practice of the basic skills.  Once the skills are mastered we will simulate real-life accidental injuries to practice our skills.  It is our goal to teach everyone CPR and AED skills so we will do a short practice of these skills as well. 

There is no prior first aid skills or knowledge necessary for this class.   go back
