Never have I attended a seminar that I didn’t want to be over, and I must say you are amazing. I was so into your lecture and learned so much information I want to go back and reteach some of the things I forgot. Thank you so very much for sharing the way you do with all of us educators, and I sure wish my professors in my MSN program would teach like that, lol. I must admit I’m almost done and it won’t come too soon for me. Thank you, thank you thank you!!!!!!! Hope to be able to see you again. Debbie Wax BSN,RN, Nursing Instructor, East Central College

 

 

I just wanted to Thank You on behalf of myself as well as MHSTE! I am still laughing when I think about your presentations. I laughed until I cried actually during the presentations. As I am sure you already know, the evaluations were fabulous! Most of them said they want to see and hear you again next year. You might want to think about penciling in MHSTE (MHSE) Conference for next July. One of the best presentations I think I have ever heard. Thanks again! Barb Houk
 

 

Hello!  I am a nursing student in NJ. Our teacher has shown us a number of your videos and everyone in the class loves your seminars.…I just wanted tell you the Ocean County Vocational School of Nursing Class of 2012 enjoys your lectures and thanks you for making things easy to understand. Deanna Brisbane, SPN

 

 

Most recently I had the extreme pleasure of seeing her [Barb] speak at the ATI Nurse Educator Conference in Orlando and had a nice conversation with her in between sessions at the Conference. Gratefully, as a result of listening to her DVD's, she also helped me understand and pass the NP credentialling exam!! I love Barbee!! Laura M.

Hello! I enjoyed your laughter seminar at the Seattle Dialysis Conference. The connection with patients seem stronger when humor is incorporated. Humor is truly good for the soul. I use humor with my patients along with the staff. The load we carry as healthcare professionals seems lighter with laughter. I would like to share your outlook with co-workers at our quarterly home therapy meeting 05/19/10, (last minute notice, I know). Your schedule is extremely busy from what I gathered at the conference but I would greatly appreciate it if there could be a way to present your unique way of looking at nursing with laughter. It must be amazing to share your experiences and touch every person listening. I know that I can't get you out of mind and you definitly made a difference in my life and career.

Dear Ms. Bancroft, Thank you for an absolutely delightful afternoon! Your presentation at the Community VNA luncheon yesterday was engaging, educational, honest, and funny as heck. I will never forget you! It was just what the doctor ordered. I am a local Health Officer and a Health Educator by profession. I am always looking for innovative ways to get to the heart of an issue to prompt behavioral changes. Your facts were straightforward and message to the point! I loved all the visuals. It was an overall excellent presentation.
Lucy A. Forgione, MS, CHES

 

Barb,  On behalf of the Board of Directors for the Greater Louisville Chapter of AACN,  thanks you, thank you, thank you!!!  The symposium was a roaring success.  The evaluations were incredibly positive.  They loved you.  You kept them entertained, as well as enlightened.  I cannot imagine the energy it takes for you to be "on" like that for an entire day.  We wish that we had the time to have a meal with you and get to know you on a more personal level.  Again thank you so much. 

Marlot Wigginton, RN, MN, CCRN, CCNS, ARNP

 

'Health Matters' was the best presentation that I have ever been too. There were so many  comments and questions I thought of during your talk, but when the time came, I just couldn't remember them! I need to run out and get my B12 and vitamin D quickly! Thank you for such an entertaining hour and a half.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed listening to you at the conference this past week in Seattle. I only hope one day to have the ability that you have to teach and be a motivator. Out of all the lectures and speakers I heard over those past 4 days, yours really hit home with me and I hope to see and hear your lectures again. Thanks again for who you and what you represent to the Nurses of today!
C. LaVeglia, International Dialysis Conference, Seattle, March 2010
 

Saw your DVD on pharmacology and really loved it. I am an instructor for psychiatric technicians and wondered if you have any DVDs on your subject of Neurotransmitter In Health and Disease. Your ability to simplify and make education fun is just unparalleled.
