Thank you so much for
coming to give the
keynote address at last
week's AACN Midwest
Conference. I signed up
and attended the
conference because as
our unit's educator, I
knew it was the right
thing to do. I have so
many piles on my desk,
that I wasn't sure how I
actually had time to do
it, but I knew I had to
be a good example. Your
presentation was my
present to myself for
doing the right thing
and going. I do not
recall the last time I
laughed that hard and
learned so much at the
same time. You helped me
renew my spirit and
drive in this wonderful
career. Thank you for
doing what you obviously
do so well.

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.

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!

Hello!
I am a nursing student

thanks you for making
things easy to
understand.

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!!
