Recently this video was presented to me in a forum in which a nurse researcher was trying to explain how "The Millennias'" that Mayo is hiring will have come from this super era of nursing education in which information flowed like wine. Interesting enough, I am considered part of this Generation of Millennia- especially having just obtained my graduate degree. I completely underestimated how this video would make me feel, however - and that feeling is most likely not what she intended. Or, was it? I was left feeling blown away by information that I could never keep up with. I was left feeling as though I had put so much time, money, emotion, effort, blood, sweat & tears into my graduate degree, yet the future graduates would be that much better because of the information available to them that was not available to me. I was left feeling like "just a nurse" while the future generation is seeking education in glamorous jobs that haven't even been created yet. I was left wondering how I would keep up in life. I was left thinking that although I am so proud of my husband, he is also part of a profession that is experiencing a face lift of sorts and I need to encourage him to stay driven. I was left knowing that I would have to strive to life long learning in this lifetime if I'm every going to keep in sync with the students who have alter-ego "avatars" so that they can go to school in a virtual reality classroom. (See Duke's school of nursing if you're intrigued by that one.) In the end, I was just not comfortable. How did you feel?
