You ring a bell and another professional that has exactly the right type of experience will come running. The Nursing Times reports that some nursing schools still teach first aid, while others, like City University, do not. Deborah Glover, the newspaper's clinical editor, herself a trained nurse, said that the main problem was lack of confidence among nurses. But Liz Jenkins, from the Royal College of Nursing, said that while it was natural for anyone to feel nervous in an emergency situation, basic nurse training covered many eventualities. All nurses know how to resuscitate, all nurses know about major things like airways, breathing and circulation.
All nurses get that over their training period.
