Today begins the recruitment purpose!. “There is this year, a sharp increase in the number of requests for first aid guidance,” said spokeswoman Eva Smits of the Red Cross. “This summer is offset by a number of major crowd pullers in the pipeline, for which hundreds of additional volunteers are needed.”
The first aid volunteers are trained by the Red Cross in both CPR and treating minor bleeding, bruises and abrasions or cuts. Also in the disaster relief will the Red Cross relief workers have more ready. “It is for us now all hands on deck to grant all requests,” commented event assistance coordinator Jeroen Bot. Just needed for the Nijmegen Marches every day 500-600 trained first aiders. Sail requires over 300 trained volunteers

Meerdan been 25 years, first-aid, to hold valid diploma course should I follow at their own expense. They are not good at their head, and then also ask if I want to be a volunteer. Let them put a volunteer at the site of the thick paid director.

Success recruiting. Today, the money can do everything for free and the bigwigs stabbing it into his own pocket. In addition, caregivers are often the target of harassment and abuse. Bets at mass events. You should only have fancy. Would there really are so many applications? I doubt it very much. Nice try.

It is normal for a first-aid will be reimbursed for a bet you finally make expenses and sometimes it’s a hard day’s work or great abandon. But more and more authorities that require first aid workers think because of the license that it is done with a book token. A volunteer worker is not free and certainly not an organization but also a commercial force.

The average annual salary of a director of a “charitable organization” in 2013 amounted to 97 133 euros on a fulltime basis. That’s not too bad. What is not easy is that we in the Netherlands have 120 different “charities” that especially good care of themselves.

Train people on benefits who can then give something back to the people who do work! Indeed, the salaries of senior officials of the Red Cross beyond all proportions!

Volunteers are massively abused in this country. The worst thing is that there is money to pay them, but the bosses prefer stabbing as much money in their own pockets.

In our first aid association report frequently people from the Red Cross who want to switch. Because they can not find in the work of the rescuers RK. Besides doing RK whether they are the sole caregivers while the local first aid associations as much or even more events manning.

Belchelijk that you give your free time (also courses!) volunteered though often catering to full scores and fills the bags. In addition, if you would get compensation you no longer fall guy. Insurance technically it would also be better.

I’ve done the course, but I failed! I was not there but proffesional first aid counselor (knocked sat in nursing and worked on an emergency), and that was not allowed. Really ridiculous, they definitely were not happy with someone who knew what she was doing.

First Aid ers was in the Netherlands. Problem for red cross is the quality (repeat) that failed. Did ever commit a first aid an incision in a finger. He acted as if the hand was cut off. Complete stub connection on the whole hand. Wall that he had learned. Not to treat a slice.
