Thank you card after interview?
It can only help your chances. There are several threads on these forums that give great suggestions on writing a hand-written thank you note. I used the hospital's stationary and wrote a note thanking the manager for taking the time to speak to me, and telling her why I wanted to work on her unit and why I think I would be an asset to her team. Keep in short and to the point. I hand-delivered it several days after our meeting but most say to do it within 24 hrs. Use snail mail if the facility is not local, just get manager's name, unit, and address of facility. I don't think an email will leave as lasting of an impression but it's better than nothing.

Help,Help! Reconstituting Powdered Med Calculation
1. When you add the 2ml of diluent to the vial with 1 gram of powder, it will dissolve the powder and you will end up with 2.6ml of solution. The concentration of Ticar will be 1 gram/2.6 ml=0.384615 g/ml Therefore, each mL of solution contains 385 milligrams of Ticar. Order: Ticar 750 mg. IM. Set up equation using dimensional analysis so units cancel. 750 mg x (1 ml/384.615 mg)= 1.95 ml How many mL should the nurse administer? 1.95 mL

University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program
I was asking my wife, who attended SDSU's BSN program a few years ago, how her transcripts were handled and if she had to wait to take the NCLEX. She said that she was able to sit for the NCLEX immediately upon graduating and that everything was processed so quickly that she didn't have to use the temporary intern permit that would have given her a three month period of time to work while waiting for her license to arrive. I wonder why OU takes much longer?

University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program
I appreciate the honest criticism from deemalt and bash75, but what's the alternative for people that want their BSN and already have a bachelor's degree? National University's ABSN program is longer and more expensive. CSU San Marcos is a longer program and has a comparable tuition (and their application deadline has long passed). According to a woman I spoke to in SDSU's nursing dept., their ABSN program won't likely start until the fall and tuition would be similar or even higher.
