Abstract:
School nurses from the Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas, have educated students, some as young as kindergarteners, on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to recognize and use automatic external defibrillators and provide basic first aid. Through a collaboration with community partners and CPR-certified high school students, these school nurses are empowering the next generation with lifesaving skills.
