Wow, may I work for you? That's excellent patient to staff ratio for LTC, I bet you have high retention of your staff; and sounds like an excellent place to work. I wish more LTC held your type of standards.

For those who have worked at LTC with 30:1 patient ratio, would you care to share your thoughts? I'm hesitant to accept an offer with such a high ratio, and mulling over whether I should or not. Any advice would help. Thanks, VSRN

I see, thank you SD.

thanks for all the replies btw.

My OPT will expire on July 17, 2008, but I have a hospital that has already petitioned for me. My process date is scheduled for February 4, 2008, however it looks like it will not reach in time. Background info: Graduate with an ADN on May 2007. Completed CGFNS and NCLEX. Awaiting Reciprocity WI-IL. Parents who are Greencard holders: 1 due to get citizenship in November. I have several questions: 1) If I change my degree will I be granted an OPT at the end of the degree? Can I use that degree to continue work as an RN? 2) Is there any possibility that I can work outside the university/school as an RN? 3) How long will I have to wait for my Visa to be processed? What are my other options? Any and finally... 4) *Cue the Marvin Gaye music* Are there any ladies (citizen;)) out there, who is looking to marry a tall...uh I mean short, handsome...LOL just kidding.

And add to that the huge Calc D and K tablets that they get, crazy indeed.
