Hello! I enjoyed your laughter seminar at the Seattle Dialysis Conference. The connection with patients seem stronger when humor is incorporated. Humor is truly good for the soul. I use humor with my patients along with the staff. The load we carry as healthcare professionals seems lighter with laughter. I would like to share your outlook with co-workers at our quarterly home therapy meeting 05/19/10, (last minute notice, I know). Your schedule is extremely busy from what I gathered at the conference but I would greatly appreciate it if there could be a way to present your unique way of looking at nursing with laughter. It must be amazing to share your experiences and touch every person listening. I know that I can't get you out of mind and you definitly made a difference in my life and career.
KNolan, Seattle International Dialysis Conference, March 2010

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed listening to you at the conference this past week in Seattle. I only hope one day to have the ability that you have to teach and be a motivator. Out of all the lectures and speakers I heard over those past 4 days, yours really hit home with me and I hope to see and hear your lectures again. Thanks again for who you and what you represent to the Nurses of today!

Saw your DVD on pharmacology and really loved it. I am an instructor for psychiatric technicians and wondered if you have any DVDs on your subject of Neurotransmitter In Health and Disease. Your ability to simplify and make education fun is just unparalleled.

Comments from attendees of

2009 Teaching Pharmacology

 

Recently I went down to Washington and wrote the NCLEX exam. I work full time in the OR and as you might guess, I don't get to work with a lot of drugs on a regular basis.  About one third of my exam seemed to be Pharmacology related and the only studying I did for these parts was to look at Barb's notes and watch her DVDs.  Well I passed the NCLEX and I know I owe a great deal of thanks to Barb and her ability to make Pharmacology for the rusty make a lot of sense. Thanks Barb!!!

Dear Ms. Bancroft, Thank you for an absolutely delightful afternoon! Your presentation at the Community VNA luncheon yesterday was engaging, educational, honest, and funny as heck. I will never forget you! It was just what the doctor ordered. I am a local Health Officer and a Health Educator by profession. I am always looking for innovative ways to get to the heart of an issue to prompt behavioral changes. Your facts were straightforward and message to the point! I loved all the visuals. It was an overall excellent presentation.

Barb,  On behalf of the Board of Directors for the Greater Louisville Chapter of AACN,  thanks you, thank you, thank you!!!  The symposium was a roaring success.  The evaluations were incredibly positive.  They loved you.  You kept them entertained, as well as enlightened.  I cannot imagine the energy it takes for you to be "on" like that for an entire day.  We wish that we had the time to have a meal with you and get to know you on a more personal level.  Again thank you so much. 

Marlot Wigginton, RN, MN, CCRN, CCNS, ARNP

 

'Health Matters' was the best presentation that I have ever been too. There were so many  comments and questions I thought of during your talk, but when the time came, I just couldn't remember them! I need to run out and get my B12 and vitamin D quickly! Thank you for such an entertaining hour and a half.
