what does OP means?

Published

Hi, I have been reading different threads here and I see people calling or referring to nursing students as OP. Why are nursing students referred as OP? What does OP stands for? I tried to Google this but can't find an answer. THX :)

OP = original poster. It refers to the person who began the thread. For this thread, you would be the OP.

What does OP stands for?
It can stand for 'original poster' or 'original post.'

Other forums use LW to stand for 'letter writer' or, as someone else had mentioned, PP to stand for 'previous poster.'
