A descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach was used. The sample comprised 50 students selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact Test (α = 0.05). Results showed that 39 respondents (78.0%) had good BLS knowledge, while 11 (22.0%) had poor knowledge. Regarding readiness, 32 (64.0%) were ready to help and 18 (36.0%) were not.
