   Keep in mind that this new bill is not a law yet. It still has to go to the Senate and then the Governor. I wonder if the President is aware of the situation. He just did a press conference not long ago on the shortage of nurses and that he didn't...

   The new bill sponsored by Sharon Cooper (523- i believe that is right) will ensure that no new bill will get by the HHS committee. It looks like she is setting up a specific committee for Nontraditional schools, but if you read it thoroughly, she wa...

   I agree with you completely. Unless they feel some pressure on themselves (by being sued), they are not going to change a thing. I did email everyone, but I feel like it won't do any good. I will continue with EC and move out of state as soon as I...

   A couple of ideas that we should all be thinking about.... 1. Emailing, calling, handwriting all Representatives (Senate & House), the Governor, Lt. Governor, and media that you can think of (t.v. and radio). 2. Asking the Speaker of the House sp...

    Send your emails/letters to the Speaker of the House, Glenn Richardson, and inquire why Senate Bill 49 was referred to HHS (health and human services) committee instead of HE (higher education) committee, like it was in the Senate. We need as many e...

    Somebody on here must be related to a good lawyer! I think there is a reason for a lawsuit. If someone can get millions from hot coffee at Mickey D's, this intentional act to hinder students lives has to hold some ground. I just finished emailing a...

    You would think that most of these Senators and Representatives would realize that the baby boomers are about to retire and the nursing shortage is going to get worse. If you don't believe me, do an internet seach for the number of RN positions avail...

    I am curious why did you choose EC if believe that you need more clinical time? Now to address your points: 1. EC is not so easy to get in to. You have to be a licensed practical nurse, a paramedic or a military corpsman. They don't take any high s...
