Once our file was complete we still have to complete training. Since it had been over a year since our placement & we didn't complete the 30 hours a year required to maintain our license we had to start completely over. Our training consists of PRIDE training, which is basically your core classes. We completed our PRIDE training this past week & now have 3 more classes to complete before we move to homestudy. PRIDE training goes over the basic things to expect once you receive your placement. They cover discipline, sexual abuse signs & symptoms, behavior management, grief, SIDS, shaken baby syndrome and those types of basic topics. We still have to complete a 2 hour course on psychotropic medications which we will do Wednesday evening, Praesedium risk prevention (I have no idea what this is) which we will do Saturday morning, we have lunch, then we will complete CPR & 1st Aid. Once your training is complete you then move on to a homestudy worker. Our agency is currently a little behind, so we may have to wait 2-3 weeks before our homestudy interviews.
