Due to intensive travel throughout my career, I have worked as an RN in many urban and rural agencies and with many populations. Most of my recent nursing experience has been in the area of community/population health. I have been a nurse for more than thirty years and have seen healthcare and delivery of care change over time. The one constant of human nature remains. People need to be given the tools to support their own health and needs. My goals for nursing research are to find those tools and then to help people move towards healthy lives.
