Nursing student's quick cpr response saves life at jfk airport

Nursing student Natalie Davies from Sacred Heart University showcased her lifesaving skills when, just 12 hours after submitting a paper on CPR training, she found herself administering CPR to a man in distress at JFK Airport. With her clinical experience and ER work, she instinctively sprang into action alongside a cardiologist. After several rounds of CPR and AED use, the man's pulse returned. Emergency services arrived, and he regained consciousness. Davies, who's set to graduate this year, is now on her way to becoming a critical care registered nurse at Yale New Haven's Emergency Department. Her quick response earned praise from her university.
