Time has passed so fast and it’s already the 3rd
week of our SCOOT cabin crew training! We are having Safety
and Emergency Procedure (SEP) assessment on the same week after six days of
training and intensive reading. The start of the week we had revision. Everyone
was mugging (studying) hard before the test as our trainer warned us before
that the assessor on that day will be a strict lady. (No kidding) The assessor
turned out to be the lady who was with us for the fire fighting drill. She is
strict and friendly at the same time.
The result for the assessment was out on Thursday and fortunately,
everyone passed!! (Yayyyy) Everyone made it to the next training which is on
first aid! The first day of first aid, which is on the Friday, we are taught on
how to do an adult one-man CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).
At first, we were saying that first aid will be easier
compared to SEP training. However, the first practical on CPR made us take back
our words. We thought that doing CPR is just performing mouth-to-mouth
breathing for ventilation and chest compression for pumping blood through the
heart. (Isn't it like what we always see on tv shows?)
Noooo! There are 10
steps in order to perform a correct CPR! And there’s a machine attached to the
dummy to ensure that we locate the correct hand position for chest
decompression. (We can’t trick the machines!) Nonetheless, we had fun
performing CPR to the dummy and making sure we locate the correct position on
the chest for the compression!
