Hi friends, how are people doing today?
I got a lot of my paperwork done yesterday, so I'm feeling a little less stressed. Slowly working through my CPR/First Aide training now.
I understand this is a stressful time for a lot of people. I'm here if you want to talk, or if you don't want to talk but would like hugs. *hugs offered*
Here is a cute kitten in a dumb pyramid hat. Enjoy!
@Sparrow Hi Sparrow! I'm doin' alright though my shoulder hurts today. D:
Yay for CPR/First Aid! Have you been certified before? I've held my certification for something like 4 years now; I re-certify every year even though it lasts for 2. ^^ A few friends and I even started a monthly refresher course where we all run through scenarios together to keep it fresh in our minds! :D
If you have any questions or want to just chit-chat about it, I'm here! ^^
I love this toot out of context. "DAY-um, look at that certified ass!!"
Anyway.
I'm using profirstaid.com/en. It's $40-50 to get certified and there's a lot of different plan options. Plus it's all online, you don't pay until you pass the test, and you get your cert in the mail ~5-7 days after.
Oh, absolutely. It just depends on how you learn, imo. For me I like the online course because I can rewatch videos if I missed something, and take extensive notes. But the hands-on aspect of an in-person class sounds invaluable as well.
I also have to get certified quickly for work, so online is preferable in that I don't have to mess around with scheduling a class. But I'll probably do an in-person course eventually as a refresher.
