if it is spurting intermittently with the heartbeat, then she has severed the vein and needs to go to the ER right away, she is in danger of bleeding to death. if it is just a lot of blood without the spurting, she may only need stitches or if its not too deep it may stop on its own,. Either way she needs medical attention, she needs help if she's cutting.

Go to the doc HURRY put a towel over her arm (cause she is bleeding badly) put preasure on it quickly see if she is ok and when he or she says that still go to her house for like a half an hour everyday in a hurry

Get her to an emergency room or call 911 and have paramedics come and get her if she is bleeding badly.

how about calling 911, depending on the vein that she cut and how deep she cut it, she could bleed to death.
