Bridging the gap between undergraduate and graduate school.
This article discusses the experiences of six junior nursing students enrolled in the Baltimore area University of Maryland System Schools of Nursing Bridge Program, a graduate school preparatory program. The Program fosters personal and professional growth of academically talented nursing students who aspire to be nursing leaders of the future. Bridge Program experiences have been overwhelming and challenging; yet, motivating. Benefits of the Program include increased exposure to people and technological resources as well as the creation of scholarly projects and presentations. Major challenges were time management and the production of scholarly work. Students share reasons for joining the Program, what it is like to be a Bridge student, benefits, challenges, and recommendations for future Bridge students.

Spiking mortality of turkey poults: 2. Effect of six different in vitro disinfection techniques on organ homogenates capable of reproducing SMT.
Spiking mortality of turkeys (SMT) is an infectious disease of 5-to-25-day-old turkey poults characterized by acute enteritis and bursal and thymic atrophy. It is reproducible by exposure to organ homogenates or contaminated litter. We studied methods potentially useful for decontamination of turkey houses contaminated with SMT. Organ homogenates capable of producing SMT and containing turkey intestinal coronavirus were exposed in vitro for 5 hr to either 5.0% NaCl, pH 2.0, pH 12, 1.0% formaldehyde, 57 C, or lyophilization. Results were assessed by oral gavage of treated inocula into 1-day-old turkeys and measurement of subsequent coronavirus shedding, growth rate, feed conversion, and mortality from 1 to 21 days of age. Formaldehyde treatment rendered the inoculum nonpathogenic, whereas other treatments failed to ameliorate its negative effects.
