Here is my first nursing poster! We like to make posters - makes me wonder if I should just go ahead and start teaching 5th grade once I graduate nursing school. Here's the team with our poster titled "A Pressing Practice: Compressions Only vs. Standard CPR." And the evidence says, yes indeed, for bystander cardiac arrest, compressions only lead to equal if not better neurological survival rates than standard CPR with the mouth-to-mouth ventilation. So there ya go. No more kissing strangers, unless you want to. Actually, there is a lot more to the research, but that is the summary.
