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.

Become Published! Help add a new game

I am also still trying to create new millionaire games for FreeNurseTutor, but I can use some help. Millionaire Games are one of our most popular learning activities with students and a very effective educational tool. The new games will be placed in the freenursetutor library for instructors and students to use.

Please think about contributing one or two multiple choice questions related to Respiratory and/or Musculoskeletal with the correct answers marked.  If you provide rational/feedback to incorrect and correct answers, the questions will be that much more valuable. (However, ratonals are not necessary.)  All you need to do to participate is send us one or more submissions from the Suggestion Box at freenursetutor.com Thanks to everyone for submissions already received, but we still need at least twenty more questions with answers to complete the games.
Note: Do not submit copyrighted materials. Questions and answers can be based on textbooks and other published materials, but the wording must be you own.

Thanks to everyone for helping to make this website successful.
