First Week Module One

Well, this has been a stressful week so far.  Getting myself and my three kids back into school, back into the routine of getting up early, making lunches, buying endless school supplies, new clothes, etc.  Lastnight was the culmination of that stress when my daughter's pet mouse escaped from the cage and it took us two hours to catch her  (two hours I was going to devote to school work).    But, today is a new day, the kids are at school,  I am getting into my school work and the house is quiet and peaceful.

Module One

I have a lot of experience with sending and receiving e-mails, catching up with friends on facebook and attaching pictures and documents to mailings.  I have also used several different computer charting systems, some of which were user friendly and others that raised my blood pressure to dangerously high levels.   However I feel like a novice when people start talking tech.  I do believe the future is information technology and I know I need to get up to speed with everyone else and that is my plan with this class.

Nursing 6004 Module One

Hello to all of my classmates and instructors!  I am excited to begin this course and to learn more about Information Technology as it relates to my practice.  I am just beginning the Teaching Nursing program and I am a little nervous about the technical side of things.   I have been a registered nurse for almost 19 years with most of that time spent in Labor & Delivery and the NICU.  Last time I was in school full-time the internet had not yet been invented and the only thing we did on computers was type some of our school papers.  This is my first time blogging (though I do keep a personal journal that nobody else is allowed to read), so I will be interested to read comments and to learn how to give constructive comments myself.
