Newsmax Health has a very good first aid quickstart guide covering some of the common misconceptions about what you should do for common injuries.

I learned some new facts such as you should lean forward for a nose bleed instead of backwards. And you should cool a burn with cold running water. Then cover the burn with loose gauze before going to the E.R.

This quickstart guide is short and to the point. You may want to print it off and keep it handy just in case you have an injury.
