Mary, I have the same concerns, I just drove to the exam site and was glad to see some restaurants around the building, but still sometimes there is a mad rush at lunch hour. I also went to see what kind of parking was available since my site is on a college campus. I would hope you could give your meds to the proctor or the proctor will escort you out to take meds and drink :( I was thinking these were always the rules, but now from your experience I know these are new rules. This is my first year taking the exam and I'm pretty nervous :) Sheena Carnes, BSN, LLL Leader *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
