Welcome to the Nursing Education Expert website! Thank you for taking time to check out my Blog and Pages. Hopefully you have already been to my About page and gotten a quick impression of who I am. So let’s talk about why you should be interested in the information you will find here.

I found the Einstein quote on a list of inspirational quotes complied by Kevin Kruse in Forbes magazine (http://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinkruse/2013/05/28/inspirational-quotes). I thought about how perfect it was to define the purpose of this website.

My goal is to create a site that will provide high-quality value to those of you in nursing school and in clinical practice. Content is planned that will enhance your knowledge of topics and issues important to your immersion into the nursing profession and to your clinical and professional practice.

I will do my best to provide you with the most current evidence and best practices regarding the topics we’ll talk about. A key objective would be for you to be able to apply this knowledge to discipline-related problems and issues.

Value will come from me in many forms: via blog posts, podcasts and “show” notes, resources for practice, videos, and online courses of information for nursing students and practicing nurses. The blogs and podcasts will provide both introductory and advanced content. I’ll also do posts related to career and expert advice. Let me know what your questions are!

A free newsletter for mailing list subscribers will alert you to postings, podcasts, reviews, clinical and professional information, career advice, and educational resources available and planned (e.g., webinars, tutorials, etc.). When you register for a free or paid account, you will be added to the mailing list. But never fear – you can unsubscribe whenever you want!

Value will also come from you – I consider all who participate on this site – podcast listeners, blog readers – and me – to be part of a learning community. All learners are respected and valued. I hope to facilitate your learning – and learn with you! I’m looking forward to getting to know you through your comments, emails, and other interactions with me.

I want to give you a reason to come back to this site – to listen to the podcasts, to read informative blog posts, and join in the discussions. If I can do that, then providing value in this way will be the definition of success for me.

Lots of stuff is planned, so stayed tuned!
