Over 1/4 of the Way There

The entire course is broken up into "quarterly's". At the end of these "quarterly's" there is a test that is slightly longer than the weekly Monday tests. They are not more difficult, they only cover more material. Our class performed poorly on the first quarterly and she allowed for an optional retake (nearly everyone took the opportunity). Here are some highlights of what we have covered so far in this course.

• Airway's which includes (among other things) nonrebreathers, oxygen tank usage/setup, combi tubes, oral and nasal airway's and the like.
  
• Head to toe patient assessment
• How to take vitals (blood pressure, pulse, breathing rate, etc.)

This is by no means a comprehensive list of things we have covered but should give you a basic idea of what is being covered in the first part of this course.
