Welcome!

Welcome to my 880 course blog. I will be updating you weekly on the progress I am making in the computer lab. I am a nurse by profession and an educator by choice. I love nursing and I am pasionate about helping others to reach their full potential. I believe we can be anything we desire if we believe it enough it can come true. I strive to be the best educator I can be. This means learning to take risks and when you fall, get back up and swim upstream again. I hope you enjoy your stay with me.

Day 4 in the lab

My 4th day in the lab was a little less challenging. I went with the graduate student to set up printers. That was a very quick experience due to they were already set up when we arrived. Apparently, there was a glitch in the system prior to us arriving but when we printed a test page it miraculously printed. I am not at all saying that the graduate student wasn’t doing something right; I am saying that I am learning that technology does often have a mind of its own.
            The swiffer was my little helper today. I cleaned the keyboards in the second computer room today. I also had the paper towels out and was trying to remove built up yucky germs off of the computer keys. I also cleaned the handles on some of the chairs. By the end of lab, I felt like I needed debugged as well (smiling). I have heard people say “once a nurse, always a nurse” and I am sure that is very true.
My final excitement of the day involved showing a student how to print from the computer lab. She wanted a color copy as well as some black and white copies. I walked her through the steps and she was able to complete her tasks.
I am attaching a picture I took at another facility when I was on a tour. Perhaps OU could consider developing a station similar to this for our labs. It is flu season and we do not want to spread germs.
