Expertise and Research Interests

I have two research programs that are occurring simultaneously. The first is the application of chronobiology to nursing practice and nursing research. I have studied the temporal patterns of body temperature in critically ill surgical and medical patients and continue to do instrument development in this area. I want to extend my work into the area of the timing of patient care interventions. I have extensive knowledge in the area of human biological rhythms. My second area of research interest is in distance learning programs.

Other Expertise

I have extensive administrative, management, and leadership experience in both academic and hospital settings. My clinical background is 40 years of adult critical care experience.

Future Research

I have interests in pain management of critically ill older adults and elderly.
