Hey guys, I hope everyone is doing well! :happy-wavehello:
I know I haven't been around in quite sometime but as I am sure many of you know that real life gets hectic from time to time. I have logged on here occasionally to see how some of you are doing and to do re-search on specific car seat questions. I also am friends with DaniCPST who keeps me posted as well.
Anyway......
I am excited to finally become a CPST after wanting it for the last 5 years. I have remained passionate about CPS and am proud to say that I am the Chair of the new CPS Committee and the Safe Kids Buckle Up Program at St David’s North Austin Medical Center. Working with our new Trauma Manager we where awarded a grant from the Capital Area Trauma Regional Advisory Committee and where supplied tuition for the class for myself and one of our Paramedics plus we are supplied with car seats to distribute to the community. I am also proud to say the the St. David’s Partnership has really stepped up the effort to promote Child Passenger Safety within the Austin area. After becoming certified I will be doing seat checks at hospital events and also working closely with the hospital's Labor and Delivery department as know one in the department was interested in becoming a tech.
Anyway again.....
I am just wondering if some of you could provide me with some first hand knowledge as what to expect. I know that I am probably more prepared for this class than your average student but I would just like to have an idea as to what will be covered and what I might start lookin at/reading before my June class.
Any info will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance peeps!
