Sorry for the lack of post for more than a month.I am so busy nowadays with my kids.
Okay, let me start to share again what happened to me last week.
I have attended and completed the American Heart Association Core Instructors Course.Prior to the day of the course, I completed the required on line course about teaching and presentation. I slept around four o'clock in the morning. Anyway, four hours of sleep is okay with me. I was so happy when I finally finished the on line course and printed the certificate.
On the day of the course, I was late for about five minutes because it was really difficult to find a taxi that day. To my dismay, not all the participants completed the on line course and yet they were admitted to the Core Instructor Course. It's so unfair! But on the brighter side, I don't have to struggle the long hours of reading and completing the course. But hey!, for Pete's sake, they know that it is a requirement to finish the on line course before the actual teaching sessions. Anyway, it does not matter anymore , they cheated themselves, not their fellow instructors and the AHA Coordinator.
From my personal point of view, being a professional BLS Instructor,we have to do our job with all honesty. After all, we are teaching our fellow healthcare professionals on how to deliver the efficient ABC's of Basic Life Support and they should always put it in their nutshell that we are dealing with precious lives.
Greatest gift!

You managed to bring your family over? How nice, it will be a magical experience for them.
Anyway good for you for your integrity. It is so easy to skimp on these things. After all, the instructors are probably too overworked to check to make sure the prerequisites are met. It is then a matter of self-enforcement and most people skip that.
Yes, I managed to bring my kids. Actually they want to go home this early. They hate the weather.
The AHA Coordinator sent a letter 2 weeks before the said course.The expectations were clearly stated in the letter, and even the respective nurse managers were instructed to inform the concerned staff. The duty roster allowed us to study and the 2-day Inservice training were considered as our regular working day.
From my personal perspective, the Instructors should take this course seriously, after all, as I have said before, we are dealing with lives.
Am I so strict?
Hi! Nice blog you have. Got your link from Jassim's post. I haven't commented on his blog before and found his opinions interesting until he suggested that movie was "for guy's, and women might not get it!". You see, some men still think like this, while I can assure you many don't. Try changing the way these men think before you hope for women's attitudes to shift ;)
Anyway here's a blog I thought might of be interest to you since you're both in the medical field - I've just discovered it.

i*maginate,
Thanks.
Maybe Jassim is used to local women who always spend their day doing nothing or spending their day on the phone with endless chit chat.
Anyway, thank you for reading my post.
