Seventeenth Day

I skipped today. We were scheduled to do a short lecture and then skills for the rest of the day.

I was busy trying to plan my future. Should I try another EMT program? Surgical technology? Mortuary science? ...Massage therapy?

I realized...maybe I can graduate legitimately. We still, FOR THE LOVE, can't find that pink bag, but maybe they'll help me out since it's so lax. Maybe I can buy a new BPcuff and stethoscope. Maybe I can get a whole new skills sheet, vitals/assessments sheet, pass-offs sheet, and ride-along sheet (though they said they DO NOT give out copies of those), and just do everything all over again.

It's a long shot, but worth it.

EDIT:

"Students have 30 days post program to complete all assignments, quizzes and exams and to pass off all skills. There is a $75 fee that must be paid BEFORE a special proctored examination is scheduled -- and a $50 fee to be added to the second recommend letter. Students who do not complete the program and all of its components; attendance, distance education assignments, quizzes, and exams and pass off all skills before the program ends will not be included in the first recommend letter. No exceptions."

So there is hope. Sure, I won't be recommended in the first letter, but I actually have time to pass off my skills. I have some time to redo all 120 of my vitals/assessments and skills signatures. I've been working on my quizzes all day - only 6 more to go! Then the final. And I have to buy a new BPcuff and stethoscope.
