Description:
Red Cross stories and information
I'm a paid instructor for the Red Cross of the South West Washington area. Every now and then I wrote journal entrys about how a class went so my friends could comment if they felt inclined. While writing a similar entry I thought maybe I would do a search to see if there was a community were I could post these stories.... There really wasn't

So yes, I've created this community for my own vanity I'll admit. But please, this place is for anyone who works, volunteers, has an interest in any portions of the Red Cross and its subsidiaries.
Feel free to Rant or Rave, ask questions, or just watch. I personally don't know much about the workings of Disaster and Blood Services, but I can find out if you have any questions.

For those outside of America, I can probably answer general questions like, "How many chest compressions in CPR." But I wouldn't be able to tell you how any similar system you have set up in your country would work, I can assume they would be close to ours, but I would only be an guessing.
