It seems that The Red Cross comes to everyone's mind after natural and man-made disasters befall our neighbors our friends and our nation. The recent and still occurring Hurricane Harvey has displaced Millions upon millions of residents in Texas and the South. Our nation's fourth most populous city, Houston inundated by relentless rain and flooding. The surrounding areas and neighboring States are next as this slow moving Hurricane releases Historic amounts rain and water. As I write this report, this monstrous disaster continues to still lumber across the South toward Louisiana and Florida. I could not believe the extent of the horrific heartbreaking damage and loss of property, until I viewed photos and videos of the heart-wrenching loss and witnessed The Bravery and the courage of so many who flew like angels to rescue so many millions. The American Red Cross is here to help all people who need them regardless of any condition. The wonderful volunteers provide them with a bed a hot meal a blanket Necessities to return to normal life. My Dear Yelp friends, You need not feel helpless. You can do something! All of us Americans and all of my generous wonderful friends the world over.. ALL of us@ We just have to .. we have to bind ourselves together and help these poor folks! it could have be us again ...as it was before. Together our little bit of money from each one of us will make a huge amount. Text "90999 to Harvey" .. It's just $10.. or whatever your generosity may allow you to give. Thanks for your help.

I have to tell you that these people are simply amazing! A fire last Friday the 1st of June at my…read moreCo/Op tossed about 25 of my neighbors out on the street. The Red Cross was at the scene about 5 minutes after the fire trucks and what an incredible job they did. As one of the temporarily displaced (I hope to be back in there in a few days once power is on) I have seen first hand just what these folks can do. We were all found rooms to spend the night, emergency provisions and of course, coffee and donuts. These incredible people are all volunteers - from the people who sat with the elderly victims to the people making coffee - all were incredibly wonderful. I urge anyone who reads this to make those donations - I always had in the past and now I can see just how worthy this organization is and how well spent the donations are.

I have been taking my BLS classes with CPR123 - Mineola for the past couple of years. The classes…read moreare suitable for both healthcare providers as well as non healthcare providers. They have several NY locations (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk) but I've only taken the Mineola ones as the times and location worked for me each time. I've had different instructors each class (all with healthcare backgrounds) but all of them were great. The class I took recently was with Paul. He was very knowledgeable and presented the information in a way that wasn't boring. Classrooms are clean with AC and working mannequins (they have lights that show if you're doing compressions correctly). There are also bathrooms available but I did not use them. You can book classes via their website or by calling them directly. I have done both with no issues. The staff at the front desk have always been pleasant. They will send you a confirmation email with more instructions so make sure you read that because if you're using GPS, it says to put Mineola and not Garden City. When I took my class, we were allowed to park on levels 1 and 3 marked for visitors. Check your email though in case that changes. Parking was free and plentiful. My class was on a weekday at 12:30pm. I've done all in person classes because I learn best that way so I can't comment on the online classes. I think with the online classes though you still have to come in to do the hands on portion. Once class is finished, you should receive the ecard within an hour or 2. If not, call them. Mine for some reason took 2 days but I didn't need it in a hurry. Cons: 1. There is no difference if you're doing an initial class or renewing. They used to have this option (renewal was cheaper and less time) but maybe it's just easier to have initial/renewal as the same. 2. There weren't much day and time options for the locations I was checking out (Mineola and Huntington) for July. It was either 8:30am or 12:30pm start. It would have been nice if they had some later start times or more weekend classes.

I keep…read morecoming back because I like that they have several locations I can choose from which means there are many time slots and days available for your needs and the instructors have always been excellent and experienced! Registration is super easy, now there's no difference between first time certification and renewal which is great. In the era of covid, I opted to use the Mineola site for the first time and it was nice. Parking lot available with limited spots but there is also metered street parking as well. Cali was the instructor and I've had prior classes with her, she's fantastic and keeps things straight forward. The 3-4 hour class flew by! Have also had classes with Mike and he was superb! They all have tons of experience in emergency resuscitation. I have been to the Forest Hills and Manhattan locations also- however parking bites and I usually take the subway but I do not want to take public transport to get there until covid is more controlled.

I needed a renewal fast and searched online for local BLS renewal courses. After searching, I browsed LICPR.com website page. There was availability for a weeknight class at 6PM in Copaigue. I was happy with the times because most classes on Long Island were at 1:30/2PM start time on a weekday which is not convenient for workers or a whole day weekend course. Todd has to be my favorite CPR instructor I have met thus far. The material we learn each and every year is the same but he made it relatable which makes it more memorable which is definitely important if there is a life or death situation. I received my new card via email at the end of class. The location is above a fitness studio and has a large office space on the 2nd floor with a parking lot attached. I definitely will be going back here for my CPR renewal in 2 years and will definitely recommended this to my colleagues.

Took CPR 123 at this location a few weeks ago and the class went really well. Repetition is key and…read morethis particular instructor made sure that he drilled important concepts into our heads so that we made sure we were leaving with a basic foundation of what ACLS was all about. It's difficult sitting in a room all day long and he aimed to make the class as interactive as possible. We covered BLS in the beginning of the class as a refresher as there were a few people in the class who needed to renew their BLS and who likely had not taken BLS in quite some time. He moved quickly through that and then onto ACLS. There were about six people in the class and he had each of us come up one by one to be the leader in an critical scenario. That part was slightly nerve-wracking, especially standing up in front of strangers but he guided you through each scenario, gave you the resources prior to the mock code that you needed in order to be successful and gave positive reinforcement after each skit. This class had a ton of information crammed into 6 hours so at the end, the test was way too lengthy in my opinion to perform well on and it was incredibly ambiguous. It felt like the NCLEX all over again. There were right answers, but there there was a more right answers, allegedly. A 50 question exam after a 6 hour long class is too much. Of course there needs to be an exam to determine whether or not you've passed the course but the questions weren't great and 50 is too many. Definitely learned a lot during this course especially regarding how to push emergency medications and the importance of closed loop communication. The book was absolutely useless throughout the course but now that it's over, I'm thankful to have it as a resource.
