A Little Planning, A Little Fun

Fidelius sitting on the tire swing........so much fun~~~ :)
Zelda on the new tire swing outside the little house.


Zelda, Fidelius, and Tessa doing Tai Chi up on Zen Hill. So relaxing and fun!!!!

Zelda peering into the window of the conference room
Here is a picture of the Florence Nightingale Conference Room. See the picture on the wall? Nice touch, Fidelius~

FINALLY!!! A picture of Tessa. Here are Tessa, Zelda, and Fidelius sitting on the bench at the side of the Center. (See the flowers climbing the wall??? Fidelius remembered that I love roses!! )


There have been so many new things going up on Nightingale Isle. It is great to see all the ideas become structures and part of the landscape. Here is a picture of Fidelius building the new patio in front of the Florence Nightingale Center.

Zelda's New Best Friends

Here is a picture of Fidelius and Paty dancing on the new patio in front of the Florence Nightingale Center. It will be another great place to gather. Fidelius has been very hard at work.

Here is a pictue of Fiedlius, Paty, and Zelda lounging on a rock on a far-away island. It was a very relaxing day for them. The only person missing is Tessa. I will get a picture up of her soon.

Here are Fidelius (the master builder), and Paty sitting on the bench having some rest and relaxation time. Fidelius has been very busy creating new spots for students to gather. I am busy trying to pull together content for the students to study. More to come.

Dance Dance Revolution

Zelda has some new books on her desk. This will be a great spot to meet with students. I think Anne Sandalwood could use this office as well. :)

Last night Emm Dawg (Mary Mackenburg-Mohn) stopped by Nightingale Isle. Fidelius, Manuel, and Zelda were dancing to ACDC. Emm couldn't find her way in but Fidelius found her roaming around. He has a HUD that detects any action on the island. WOW!! We showed Emm Dawg around and we practiced using the microphone in the podium and it worked. YEAH!! Here is a picture.

Nightingale Isle is coming together. The new Florence Nightingale Center has an upper floor, and a set of stairs. To the left of the stairs on the upper floor is a door that leads to Zelda's new office. She can have private meetings with students, or meet with groups in there. It has an amazing view of the mountains and the ocean. She even has a new laptop. Check it out if you are out on Nightingale Isle. Here are a few pictures.

Under Construction


Here is a Men Working Sign. Hahahahah. It is women working as well!!!





Here is Zelda in the construction zone. She is standing on the builder's block. This area makes it easier to make items the correct size. It is a bit like making a quilt.

A Wild Ride on Nightingale Isle

Fidelius the Dragon

Anne and Zelda riding on the Fidelius Dragon


Anne Sandalwood, (Sue Forneris), my new advisor, and Zelda visited Nightingale Isle to see how Fidelius was doing with the building. Wow, we found a whole new building called Florence Nightingale Center. It was beautiful. We will be thinking of ways to use this new building. Possibly in the future we will run some simulations in there. Fidelius has been busy building Zen Hill. We will have yoga mats, Tai Chi balls, and meditation area for students to hang out and relax. We may eventually hold relaxation classes out there. While giving Anne a tour, Fidelius decided to turn himself into a large dragon. Anne and Zelda went for a ride on his wings........straight out of Harry Potter. After all, life cannot be all work and no play!!! Take a look at a couple of the new pictures. I am hard at work developing an NCLEX review curriculum for Spring 2010. More to come..............

Bridge to Practice

Here are two more pictures of the new part of the island. I also met a Cardiologist from Mexico tonight. She wants to be a visiting scholar in Nightingale Isle to talk about her specialty area. She also does work around Women and violence and asked me to join her group in SL. There are many psychologists in this group. Wow............what a night in Second Life!!! More to come.
