Spring Break!!!

One of the best parts of going to school is getting to enjoy the breaks!! That's my opinion anyway. I seem to forget about what it was like to not have to do an assignment or study for a test EVERY SINGLE DAY. So when the break go here I tried to enjoy it as much as I could. My wife is a teacher in Alabama and their spring break was a week before mine....of course it was. So they came up and spent time with me in Jackson. The last weekend of their break, the first weekend of mine, we went to the zoo with some friends. A good time was had by all. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle of CRNA school and forget to spend time with family and friends. We need to all slow down and enjoy the time we have with our loved ones....end of rant.

A tongue Gene Simmons would be jealous of!

Not even sure what's going on here...sorry, Ethan.

The Seed

This is a forum about technology and how it applies to nursing. I am learning about how to make surveys and the such in my class. I have created a survey that is used from something we are doing at church. The school I attend is open about biblical studies so I have posted a survey called "The Seed." This is just something we are trying out that will help start discussions with people so we can try and help them get to Heaven. That is my goal for me, my family, and all of you as well! So if you want, I will place a hyperlink that will take you to this survey. Take it if you would like. Thank you!

Bipolar weather

   As you've probably read lately, we've had some crazy weather. We had 3 "snow days" at the college and it drove me crazy! I say "snow days" because it was more ice than snow. Either way, we had 3 days off of school. This will make life more difficult down the road I can imagine. We will have to still go over the information that we missed on the days we can find. I did use this time to do a lot in my technology class, NUR715. I worked on my eportfolio which is kind of like an electronic resume of sorts. They are an interesting way to form a resume. We did ours off of the website carbonmade.com. With our ever increasing technology, this makes distributing a resume a lot easier. I will have a long time, 2.5 years to be exact, before I have to worry about a resume but it's a good head start. It is amazing the different technology we are using now. I started nursing in 2005 and we have improved our technology so much. As future CRNA's we will need to be as up to date with this technology as possible. I'm really not sure yet about the technology that will be used as a CRNA because I haven't even started my clinical rotations yet but I'm sure it will be really useful.

   By the way if you are wondering what the temperature is today, it is 68 degrees. Less than a week ago there was ice and snow on the ground and now I'm wearing shorts. My daughter and I even went for a hike yesterday. You've got to love the weather in the south! Here's a sample of what it looked like:
