Typical Wednesday Class Day

Today was a typical day at Weiss Memorial Hospital EMT class. Here is what happened:
Arrive at 5:00pm
5:00-5:15 . . . Announcements. This is typically the time in which you will be given study guidelines for the test on the upcoming Monday. If you study what they tell you to review you should have no problem getting above an 80% (which is what you need to pass the course).
5:15-6:00 . . . Lecture.
6:00-6:30 . . . Break for Dinner. There is a cafeteria at the hospital where you can purchase a hot meal for a reasonable price. They also have vending machines with candy bars, sandwiches, drinks and other snacky foods.
6:30-7:45 . . . Lecture.
7:45-7:50 . . . Quick Break.
7:50-9:00 . . . Practical. This is the time in which you do hands on work that you would be doing as an EMT in the field. Today we did patient assessment/triage and bandaging.
