Betsy Boris demonstrates how to administer CPR.
Thank you to Betsy Boris, the Director of Nursing and Allied Health, and Garrett Croon, Campus Safety Coordinator, for presenting to our faculty and staff on Sep. 5. We learned a few basic actions that can make a big difference in an emergency. Hands-on practice on CPR dummies and the AED machines was extremely valuable. Here are some resources and tips for a quick review:
- CPR Fact Sheet
- AED Information
- When in doubt, call 911
- Find the AED in your building!
- Campus Safety NMC Webpage
