Beth, You have your work cut out for you, but if I can help in any way, let me know. The main thing to keep in mind is that technical standards should be based on what is TAUGHT in the program, not what someone thinks is needed to do the task. "Bend, stoop, kneel and grasp" are not technical standards, because you don't teach those skills to students -- those are the way that most people DO the things that are taught in the program (transferring patients, administering meds, etc).
