In a heartfelt post, the American-Australian actress sat cross-legged on a plush cream sofa in the luxe home she shares with husband Keith Urban. Keeping it casual with wide-leg denim jeans and a simple white T-shirt, the blonde beauty held a card up to her face from the American Safety & Health Institute that confirmed her certification.

"CPR, AED & basic first aid are invaluable skills to learn because they allow you to provide medical care until emergency medical services arrive," explained Nicole.

"My family and I became certified last week, because you never know when an emergency will occur and who will be affected. #CPRChoice," she continued, suggesting that her husband Keith and their two daughters Sunday and Faith also took part in the lifesaving training.
