Need Flash Player - Nursing Student

Question

Hi. I am currently a nursing student. My school requires us to use a training program to understand the hospital medical records system. In order to be allowed to go on our clinical site, we need to finish the training. I have contacted the hospital IT, and they informed us to contact the school. We called the supervisor in charge and she told us to contact the hospital IT. So, I decided to contact Adobe and they informed me to get on here; however, I see lots of information saying that Adobe Flash is dead and we are doomed basically. Is there anyone who could help me out since the hospital IT could not, the school could not and Adobe could not? = Desperate Nursing Student.

Thank you.

Adobe announced Flash Player's end-of-life in July 2017 giving content creators, programmers, developers, IT experts, etc over 3 years remove Flash Player dependencies from their products. All modern browsers provide the capabilities necessary to do this in JavaScript. This is an investment and prioritization choice, not a technical limitation.

For reference:

Major browser vendors are deprecating Flash Player support. Details specific to each vendor:

Apple Safari - removed Flash Player support in Safari 14, released Sept 16, 2020
Google Chrome - removed Flash Player support in Chrome 88, released Jan 19, 2021
Firefox - removed Flash Player support in Firefox 85, released on Jan 26, 2021.
- Firefox ESR 78 will support Flash Player for the time being, assuming the Flash Player NPAPI plugin is already installed as it’s no longer available for download.
Microsoft Edge - removed Flash Player support in Edge 88, released Jan 15, 2021
Microsoft Internet Explorer and legacy Edge

You need to continue to talk to your school, since they don't seem to have grasped that Flash Player HAS GONE AWAY, and this will not change if someone talks to Adobe. They MUST make a different kind of training program: only the school can solve this, it isn't a tech problem to fix, or something Adobe will make a fix for. You could also contact your fellow students, since they will all be affected. (There were three years warning that Flash would go away, so you can reasonably complain to your school about this).
