Karen+F

My name is Karen Friedberg and I am a nurse educator at Elgin Community College in Elgin, Illinois. I am in my 17th year at ECC and teach in the third of four semesters. My area of specialty is cancer nursing and, in another life, managed the cancer units and bone marrow transplant unit at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. I have taught in all levels of nursing education: diploma, associate, baccalaureate, and masters. The reason I took this class was to learn more about technical styles of learning. I am getting younger students who learn better in this format so I know I have to get up to speed! 1. I am an arm-chair sports fan: Chicago Bears (season tickets but I only go to the warm games), Bulls, Hawks, Sox, and, I guess, the Cubbies (my husband's favorite). 2. I grew up in Chicago and would live in the city if I could. We make good use of what the city has to offer. It is no surprise my kids choose urban colleges. 3. Last summer we vacationed in NYC, which was very inspiring. We usually go to the west coast and Florida (Disney).
