My company was thinking about holding a class on a saturday but my boss told me to go ahead and take the class and put in for remibursement. Woo Hoo.
I will be taking the class on June 20. Two more weeks and I can check this off my list.

Kate is doing my best.
How I did it: I was required to become certified in CPR/AED for my Massage Therapy program - it only took a couple hours and I'm now certified for 2 years. Much easier than I thought it would be. Its really worth it too -- you never know when you may need to use it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I asked my work if they would pay for CPR training. They agreed and I scheduled myself into a local class. I had to take the initiative, because we're a small, busy company. So I sold the idea that a few people SHOULD be trained at work, and they agreed that it was important. Read how I did it…

in order to work summer childrens’ programs at the rock gym where I work. It took 8 hours over two days (Wilderness First Aid was included), but was totally relaxed and chill. Now I can save a life, which is a cool feeling…
I found out today that HR is looking into having a few people learn CPR. I told my boss that I would be interested in being one of those people. I just have to wait until they put it toghther.
CinnamonRibbon says hi.
I was so nervous about the test, but I passed it! I’d still be completely scared if I ever had to actually do it… but I’m glad I know how to!
Signed up for it cause it’s a must-do for anyone in the medical community. The infant cpr still makes me a little nervous though.
change everything loves her mini bungee cords
I saw some parents walking with little kids, and it hit me all of a sudden how if something happened I would be totally useless. I’m sure I can find a local class sometime this spring or summer.
I became certified back in High School, so I bought an at home course (it comes with a dummy and everything!) that I can do on my own time, rather than paying a baby sitter so I can go to classes. It won’t be official until I take the test with a certified trainer. The real reason I want to do this is because of my kids. I have a friend who saved her kids’ life because she knew CPR. I’m a stay at home mom and I can’t stand the thought of something happening to one of my kids and me not knowing what to do to help them. I’m going to get this done!
eclusion is working
This goal was the forth one I added, but will be the first one completed. I wanted to have something to keep me motivated and show some progress before the larger goals were completed. I will be taking a CPR class on Tuesday. Hooray for small steps!
Indigo_Divaah It's a new day...
