I'm also going to take a SIDS class before our LO gets here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-646433 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 09:08:50 +0000 Smurfette 646433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is certified but we took Infant CPR the day before my water broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-646378 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 08:32:00 +0000 PrincessBaby 646378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am mildly obsessed with SIDS, so yes.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-646375 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 08:29:57 +0000 VanillaBean 646375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I have to because of my job. Also, as a parent, I think it is important to be certify in pediatric CPR and first aid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-612566 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 19:01:52 +0000 Pepper 612566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm certified first aid/CPR/AED.

In my experience, educational training isn't covered. But it doesn't hurt to call and ask </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-612441 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:46:21 +0000 runsyellowlites 612441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, only because things change every. single. year. and I know the basics so I'm generally okay with that. It has been a number of years since I needed it though so I guess a refresher course wouldn't hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-612435 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:43:56 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 612435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm certified (teacher), but we also just re-did infant training before leaving the NICU. It's really important because things have changed even since the last time I took a real class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-612198 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:41:06 +0000 mrskc 612198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm current since DH and I just took the class with our nanny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-612093 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:19:14 +0000 Caly 612093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm current on first aid/CPR/AED.

I should call my insurance and ask :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-612076 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:14:55 +0000 regberadaisy 612076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was literally just on the Red Cross site to see when their next weekend class is for pediatric first aid/CPR/AED!<br /> Unfortunately the next one we're in NYC so it'll have to be the one after.</p> <p>Does anyone know if insurance covers it? I would think they do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-612069 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:13:37 +0000 Alivoo01 612069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but we really should since we have a LO on the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-612062 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:12:39 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 612062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stay current on all my certifications because of my job. Ive allowed my cna to laps because I don't use that one anymore </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-612031 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:07:22 +0000 Ash 612031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I are both certified but only because of our jobs. Although if we had kids, I'd probably make sure we were anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-611954 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:53:13 +0000 mediagirl 611954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not current but I went through the class a few years ago. We're going to go through it again soon. I'm going to ask (make) my parents to go through it, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-stay-current-on-first-aidcpr-certifications#post-611894 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:40:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 611894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I started because I was a nanny for so many years, and then had a job in an elementary school where it was required and they paid for it. I think one of them just expired so I need to take the class again.</p> <p>I think it's vital information especially as a parent!</p> <p>Are you certified? Do you stay current? </p>
