If you're an RA...have you ever had an experience where a resident in your building or your floor has passed out/fainted?  Just from the heat or from being sick? (not talking about drunk residents)

If someone does faint, how do you take care of it?

Becuase I am going to be an RA next year and during the fall move-in, it's SOOOO hot that I feel sick..I believe I might have someone pass out at a point..it's ridiculopus.

Any advice about what you do?

Good luck. Being an RA is a hard job, and hopefully you won't have anyone pass out on your first day. I think that if it does happen you should contact health services and have the on-call nurse check it out.
