I created Freenursetutor.com about five years ago. During that time, I had many instructors send me encouraging emails. Some informed me of errors, some sent suggestions or thanks. My all time favorites were those from students that told me how Freenursetutor helped them in achieving their dream. It was those emails that really made me very happy and gave me the passion to create another site that allows instructors to create their own customized version of the activities on freenursetutor.com.

With that said...this is my new project: Try to offer the same services with no cost to the instructors or students. Now, as I write that I have to gasp. What am I thinking?

My new goal is to put all of my activities on a website and open them for use by others, while trying to create a community of nursing educators who can create, collaborate and share activities. I do not believe that there is anything like this already in existence and if there is it is not free.

As the word spreads, I am hoping that we can grow our numbers of site visits to a point that we can obtain sponsorship from larger institutions and collect donations. Up to this point, I have maintained the site financially with my own funds and with small amounts of time, here and there on a part-time basis. But to grow it with increased activities that are available to all students and to add the ability for others to create custom activities will require increased costs for maintenance, time and effort. I am taking a big breath and jumping in. I am excited and nervous.

Please subscribe to this blog. Keep informed of our progress. We will soon have the ability for instructors to begin creating and organizing activities. Spread the word and join our new movement for innovation in Nursing Education.

Google Wave...What do you think?

Well, I now have a google wave....Now I need to think about how this very cool tool can be used. I am thinking that it would be a perfect tool to have an ongoing freenursetutor seminar. I could put up the activity and do a little explanation...you could reply or ask questions. Everyone could collaborate, with their own little "brain storming" ideas. It could be quite interesting. So let me know if you are interested. I have 25 invitations to give out for anyone that would like to "wave". If you have any other ideas, let me know....this is what it is all about with freenursetutor!

    I am launching an LVN college, quite an endeavor. I stumbled upon your website by accident and was so excited I had to write to you. This is an awesome tool for the students and the instructors, and as a new school pending approval our funding is "me". Thank you.... I will continue to use your site and when I get a minute make a tool or two too !
