The Coalition’s STOP THE BLEED® Instructor Licensing Program is designed for Nurses seeking to teach STOP THE BLEED® to their communities or organizations. There is no cost for individuals to become licensed and it only takes a few minutes to complete an online application. Many Nursing professionals are already engaged in the STOP THE BLEED® campaign, using it to build resilience in their communities. The new program is designed to empower more Nurses to get involved by making it easier to apply for a license and to support approved instructors with all of the resources they need. |

The Stop the Bleed Coalition has made available a wide variety of free tools and resources to support a STOP THE BLEED® Instructor’s work, the materials include: |

What Nurse STOP THE BLEED® Instructors are saying: |
| Alicia GentleTrauma Coordinator and RN Nebraska “We see life-threatening bleeding firsthand in the trauma department. My goal is to educate the public about bleeding control to prevent death from life-threatening bleeding. I am about to teach my 200th STOP THE BLEED® course! I am also a military veteran and understand the importance of training. I have also provided stop the bleed kits and education to three school districts in Omaha.” |

| Laura HarkinsNurse, Arkansas “I am incredibly passionate about STOP THE BLEED® because most people will need to utilize one of these skills at some point in their lives. I trained MANY teachers and staff in my school last year and have a goal to expand this training and awareness within my church and community. These skills are essential! Nurses need to be a voice for such important programs.” |

Bonnie Smith RN and School Nurse, Illinois “Being an RN and a School Nurse for a Pre K Program is what has led me to become a STOP THE BLEED® Instructor and to dedicate time to the STOP THE BLEED® Campaigns every year. With all of the uncertainty in the world, you never know when an emergency might arise and the need for life-saving measures to be carried out. I care about the children in our Pre K Program and all of the staff and volunteers that make it work. I also care about the families of those children and I do not want anything to possibly become a tragic loss for our community. Knowing how to stop a life-threatening bleed and knowing how to properly apply a tourniquet are two of the most important things to learn how to do. I simply love teaching others. Educating community members is important. Lives are of utmost importance.” |

Instructor Spotlight |
| Cesar Rodolfo Romero Arias Bolivia Doctor and Paramedic As a Doctor and Paramedic, I have played a prominent role as a pioneer of the STOP THE BLEED® campaign in Bolivia for approximately six years. My dedication has been evident not only in raising awareness about the crucial importance of immediate intervention in emergencies but also in my consistent commitment to providing Stop The Bleed training in various regions of Bolivia. During this time, I've had the opportunity to conduct workshops and training sessions in different communities, emphasizing my love and passion for teaching. I am enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge and experiences, especially in the context of bleeding control, where I have directly witnessed the positive impact of a quick and effective response. A fundamental part of my work is changing paradigms within bleeding control. I don't just limit myself to teaching techniques and providing essential information; I also aim to inspire a mindset shift in the community. I want the population not only to acquire practical skills but also to adopt a proactive attitude towards preparedness and response in critical situations. |
