RE: yearbook CD
Sounds like a good idea to me! I think we should send a mass email to our entire class through Julie in the nrsg office and I also think we should bring this idea up on our first day of N10 when ALL of us are in the same room, ya know? Since I know not everyone checks this blog very often. Just a suggestion! :)

A little birdie wants to tell you:
Carin has brought up the idea of capturing our memories as a graduation gift for those of us who will be pinned Spring 2010 (fingers crossed). At first, a yearbook was suggested, however, factors such as cost and quality made that a poor choice. So, in lieu of a bound paper yearbook, a CD yearbook appears to be a better choice. It would be a double sided disc with one side being photos of our class and the other side being a compilation of songs. In no way is this set in stone, it is only an idea and not yet put into motion. It sounds a bit early to even being thinking about something like this, but a project like this takes long hours and a lot of effort. Since photos from the pinning ceremony itself would be included, this CD would not be available until after graduation, sometime into the summer. The following is a list of some things (not limited to) which would be necessary for this graduation gift to be produced:
1. Consensus from our class :)
2. Photos of our nursing class (social and academic) dating back to first semester
3. Funds to purchase 80 double sided writable CDs
4. Team willing to volunteer their time to compile photos and songs to the CD
That's about the bulk of it. The idea is to start putting together semester 1-3 now, so when 4th semester comes around there won't be much else to it. Like always, photos can be uploaded to photobucket.com. The username is futurenurses2010 and the password is pinned2010. If you do not know how to go about uploading your photos, please ask! You can also submit hard copies if that's easier for you.
PLEASE COMMENT WITH IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS!!! YOUR INPUT IS NEEDED!
