		+	Having a nurse's prospective was great today. Gerri will be a great resource for us because she has the background and skills of a clinician, but the thought-process of an engineer. I think it will be very important for us to keep the most important factor in design in mind throughout the process - that is to help the patient. I am very excited about having a panel of expert nurses for us to electronically ask questions. This will be very helpful!

		+	Hearing architects speak today was fascinating. It imspires me to hear their incricate and detailed oriented minds at work. Some of the example hospitals and patient rooms were very good inspiration for thinking about our design issues. I also thought it was good they brought a former clinician, now architect assistant to class. She had a unique perspective on design and implementation of hospitals.

 Julia Jones talk today made me really excited about this class.  Her experience and passion in hospital design motivates me to really explore the topic and take full advantage of this class.  I am interested in going to Hillendale soon (let me know if anyone else wants to go and we'll put a trip together) to see her "hospital of the future".  After hearing the history, current situation, and goals of CHOA at Hughes Spalding, I have a better idea about the design focus.  I am looking forward to the site visit to be able to put pictures with words.
