very much like that.

Ron,
I wish you luck with your endeavor. I have a power point presentation that
I use for nursing education relative to OT. If you would like to see it, I
could email it to you.

Hello Jimmie:
Sounds like you are being very proactive... but isn't it frustrating?? I
am always so miffed because our profession is so old but so under
utilized.
I am planning to go back to the hospital in a couple of weeks to provide
in-service education.
