About US

My photo
Deanna Bland Hiott PhD, MSN, RN
Sunny South, United States
Registered nurse with a background in pediatrics, labor and delivery, recovery, postpartum and newborn nursing. A smattering of med./surg. with a dab of o.r and home health on the side. Now I am a nurse educator. I love teaching about the profession I love so much. I have taught pathophysiology, nursing fundamentals, and pediatrics. Once I completed my Ph.D. I began teaching graduate nursing classes. I now teach graduate nursing in a large private Christian university. I am so proud to call myself a nurse, especially after all we have endured with the Covid-19 pandemic. During Covid, in addition to teaching, I worked in our states largest pediatric clinic. My heart and admiration go out to all medical providers who have worked during this challenging unprecedented time. I am happily married to my sweetheart of 47 years and mom of 6 wonderful children and 5 gorgeous grands! Blogger homes- Mops and Pops Place and Nurse's Watch. Creator of Nursing Class wiki and Nursing Class2. Last but not least a sinner saved by grace...

MOPS AND POPS PLACE

MOPS AND POPS PLACE
Mops and Pops are parents of 6 children.Years ago we were christened with the names Mops and Pops by our 3rd oldest after he came home from college one weekend. We live, laugh, work, play and school right here at Mops and Pops Place located in the sunny south. Home of southern hospitality, good southern sweet iced tea and that slow southern drawl...yeah. Pull up a chair and "sit a spell."

Don't I look poised and well put together ?

Yet, as the Master shall the servant be,
And pierced are the feet that follow Me;
But thine are whole: can he have followed far,
Who has no wound nor scar?"

Be Brave, America, Our country is at a cross road.

Be Brave, America, Our country is at a cross road.
"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."--Teddy Roosevelt

And you will hear a voice behind you saying, this is the way, walk in it...

"Jesus, is the Way, the Truth and the Light...no one comes to the Father but by Him...."

Tricks of the Trade...Homeschooling Secrets:

1)Talk to other homeschoolers.
2)Look up homeschooling on the web.
3)Assess your teaching style and your children's learning styles. Do you like the structure of a formal curriculum or are you more eclectic?
4)Remember just because you bought it doesn't mean you have to use it. If it's not working for you move on to something else!
5)Black and white marbled composition books for journaling and drawing are your best friend.
6)There are those days..."Mama said there'd be days like this, there'd be days like this, my Mama said..." Yeah, everybody has them. Have a plan B for those days...reading day, puzzle day, homeliving i.e. cleaning day (my personal favorite),spring day( send them outside to read and don't come back in until there is something creative in that journal!)
7)Drum roll please.....enjoy this opportunity and this time; it flies!
