Empowering Nursing Students to Help Save Lives: The Path to High-Quality CPR Skills
In their recent studies, Dr. Marilyn H. Oermann and Dr. Suzan Kardong-Edgren proved that nursing students do not retain their CPR psychomotor skills in the few months after their traditional 2-year certification which, in turn, impacts their ability to save lives.
In this webinar, you will learn how to:
- Identify the value of low-dose, high-frequency CPR training in developing verified competence and confidence — preparing nurses to help save more lives.
- Innovate your program to incorporate a quality improvement approach to resuscitation education.

Training Interval in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Although evidence supports brief, frequent CPR training, optimal training intervals have not been established. The purpose of this study was to compare nursing students’ CPR skills (compressions and ventilations) with 4 different spaced training intervals: daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly, each for 4 times in a row.

Personalized Training Schedules for Retention and Sustainment of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skills
The study examined how the spacing of training during initial acquisition of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skill affects longer-term retention and sustainment of these skills.
