The Woman Behind Vital Steps First Aid Training:
Get To Know Jackie Marshall
Jackie’s been teaching for the Canadian Red Cross for over 30 years.
In 1994, she launched her personal business, Vital Steps First Aid and Safety Services. For 25 years she taught classes part-time and worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse.
Her favourite part? Giving people real-life skills that impact lives. Over the many years of her teaching career, she has saved many lives. How? By teaching life-saving skills that are constantly used outside of her classroom.
Her #1 goal as a teacher is to give students a relaxed, vibrant, and fun learning environment that enhances their learning and makes them want to come back for more.
Having fun during coursework is important – Jackie works to keep the material intriguing…and sometimes in the most surprising ways.
Did you know that the BPM’s of the song ‘Baby Shark’ fits perfectly with the suggested BPM of CPR?
Just picture it – a group of people practising their CPR skills while belting out Baby Shark. Definitely not your regular first aid class.
Jackie’s now retired from nursing, and is fully committed to Vital Steps. Her courses aren’t only for health authorities. They’re also for people in:
- Dental offices
- Massage offices
- Chiropractic offices
- Medical offices
And anyone else who just wants to learn.
