Didn't sign BLS card before laminating

Published

Do you think this will present a problem for me? Does anybody ever actually check to see that you signed your card? I can easily order a new one for $10 but I would like to avoid that if possible.

Just sign over it with a black sharpie maybe? If not, I would just order a new one. This reminds me that I need to laminate mine!

I never thought to laminate mine. How do you order a new one? I can't find mine and I know you need it to renew.

You should be able to purchase a new card from the same place where you took your class.

I only laminated it because I assumed that I would have to keep it with me at all times while at clinicals...

Staples laminated it for a dollar!

Hmmm.... only a dollar? I guess that's worth it, but every time it gets renewed, you get a new one. I never touch mine after it gets put into my wallet, only to replace it. I'm thinking I should get my social security card laminated since you only get one and it's supposed to last forever. Thanks for the idea.

Read the back of your social security card before doing this... ;)

I couldn't find my SS card if you paid me.

I couldn't, either, until I had to get a new one when changing jobs.

My filing system is the world's worst, bar none. I finally surrendered and bought a fire-resistant case to keep my SS card, passport, nursing licenses, CPR card. All in one place, and reasonably secure.

Now I can find that stuff, but nothing else................:uhoh3:

My husband makes fun of my filing system but I don't understand why. At least I know where everything is. It's my organized mess, and I'm proud of it. We also got the fire-resistant case for the birth and marriage certificates, SS cards, etc. I even have a file with my name on it, just for certain random items that don't have a home.

I appreciate everyone's responses. Sounds like you don't have to show it to enough people for it to ever be a problem. If anybody every needs to make sure it is me they can just cross check it with my drivers license. I am not broke, I just don't want to waste, $10, or a stamp for that matter.

I never sign my CPR card. Are we supposed to?
