Thanks for the information. This looks to be the best answer I've heard yet.

Your link is broken. We always did them lying after 10 minutes, then immediately upon sitting then immediately upon standing. This was per the request of our cardiology group where i use to work. Everywhere you go they have different norms. I have had a nurse and a paramedic in the ER where I work now tell me that I needed to wait 1 minute after sitting and 1 minute after standing. It seems ridiculous to ask each Doc that orders orthostatics which technique they prefer. I would love some kind of final word on this.

I've never heard anything bad about UMKC. I've lived in the area 31 years. JCCC is a junior college 20 minutes from UMKC in Overland park Kansas that is inexpensive, it has a beautiful campus, They have an extremely high pass rate for boards, they have a ton of resources, excellent instructors, they do their clinicals at the new and beautiful Menorah medical center at 119th and Nall. The staff there is awesome. I was a CNA there for 6 years. JCCC is ranked something like,,,,, top 10 in the Nation. After that you could transfer to KU, UMKC, etc to get your BSRN.
