Greetings, all! This is my first attempt at blogging. This is a new experience for me. I presume this will become a welcome outlet for me in that, as you all know, I always have a lot to say. If any of you would like to buy me a present, get me the t-shirt that says, "Help, I'm talking and I can't shut up!"
My blog is entitled, "Ted, RN Trains" because it's what I love and it's what I do. I am a nurse educator and I train nurses; I have been a railfan since birth and I love trains. A colleague told me last year, "Nursing may be in your heart, but trains are in your soul." I considered that, and I have realized that that is incredibly accurate in describing me.
After completing my doctorate in education (EdD), I plan to teach nursing at a university. I can't not teach-I was a language teacher prior to becoming a nurse. I look forward to retirement from nursing education because I will then get to do something I have wanted to do since I was three--be a locomotive engineer; preferably on a steam locomotive (I would pay to go back in time to work as an engineer on the Pennsylvania Railroad and drive a big 4-6-2 steam locomotive or the fabled GG1 electric locomotive).
So, bear with me as I continue on this journey into discovery and "locomotivity".
