My husband and I are planning to take a CPR class soon. Does anyone have any other suggestions for improving our skills in medical response/first aid, etc.?

You could do volunteer firefighting after gaining the prerequisite certifications.

Another option is to go to your local community college and take anatomy and physiology 1 and 2. I took anatomy 1 as an elective and learned a ton of useful applicable insight.

Hands on experience will bolster your confidence in a real situations.

Person that knows all that would do good to snag a degree in mortuary science and make big money. No dissatisfied customers in that vocation.

But then you have to be around the dead all the time. I prefer the living. That's definitely not a profession for me...I'd do it if I had to but there are so many other options.

Have you ever seen the movie "Screwed" with Danny Davito as the mortician? Comedy gold imo.
