Fun Facts Info

I am experimenting with this page. I am not sure what I will be putting on it but thought it might be f-u-n to have a page like this. Bear with me as I develop this page. Thanks.

Oh yeah! I guess I could start with some info about myself so here goes.

Age: If you guessed 29 you are close (sort of). :)
Education: Texas Woman's University-received a B.S.N in May 1977 (did that give away my age? I graduated when I was 15 or so) And, YES, that is a picture of the actual nurse's cap I used to wear (back in the days just after the dinosaurs used to roam the earth).

Philosophy in Vocational Nursing Education: to help my students become the best nurses they can be. How? By

Expecting them to aspire to be the best nurses they can be
Expecting them to act honestly and professionally both in the clinical and the classroom setting
Interjecting principles found in the nursing workplace into my teaching
Helping them see areas in which they can improve
Teaching them not only facts but explaining WHY as often as possible
