Knowledge is the result of what happens when a person senses an object, sensing occurs through the five human senses, namely, the senses (hearing, sight, smell, feeling, and touch). Basic Life Assistance (BHD) is one of the emergency relief measures that must be known by a nursing student and medical personnel, because this action is given to someone who has no awareness if not getting first aid can threaten someone's life then this action must be understood by nursing students. Before providing first aid, proper knowledge is needed, so nursing students must know. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of D3 Nursing study program students at STIKes Santa Elisabeth Medan about Basic Life Support (BHD). This study uses a quantitative method in which data is collected by distributing questionnaires with 18 questions so as to be able to explore the knowledge of D3 Nursing students.
