Yes I do and I had to do it to my young son when he fell from a tree.Thank God I took the course in high school.I thought I would forget how to do it but it all came back very quickly in that emergency.I didn't even have to think it just came back like I was trained to do it.Saved his life they told me .The feeling I got was just awesome as a mother who gave him life twice.Happy as the dickens he is alive and well and I am very proud of myself for keeping my **** together.

Yes, there are short Red Cross courses anyone can take to get certified for a year or so. Give CPR without certification at your own risk, though, as it may be legally dangerous. I also recommend getting certified in AED if you are interested, as they are becoming common in public places and can restart a heart (CPR typically cannot, and is used to keep the person alive until an AED can be used).

Honestly, Im not 100% sure. But probably, I took a class a couple months back so hopefully I'll remember if a time ever comes that I have to give CPR.

Yep
Do it regularly at work!
Also had to give my best friend CPR about 10 years ago - she ended up in ICU - survived and was fine!
Would hate to have to do CPR on one of my family.

I would after I can get the chance to recertify. I haven't had the chance to do that in a while. I got certified because of a job I had 5 years ago but after I left the job I never went and recertified after 2 years.
I am going to check with the Red Cross to see about recertification.

Yes I do, but I understand that the actual percentage for people that it saves is like 4%!!!!!....so maybe there is no real need to even bother about it...just give them the whack to the chest and hope for the best.

Erm don't if you don't know how to , you could do more damage than good, but you can do Duke of Edinburgh courses, and recieve awards, or do the Red Cross courses, they are really thorough.
