My passion lies in defining, developing and disseminating the unique contributions that nurses make to acutely ill older adults' health and recovery. Nursing therapeutic strategies can improve survival, prevent complications, ameliorate symptoms and decrease health care costs, but many barriers exist that keep nurses from enacting our roles to the fullest.

My passion for nursing therapeutics has allowed me to pursue research across different disease areas, such as lung cancer, hemostasis and pressure ulcers. Most of the care of hospitalized older adults is provided by registered nurses, so it is important to study how hospital nurses can optimize care for maximal health and recovery.

Few drugs or technologies can promise health care outcomes improvements as cost-effective and broadly applicable as optimum nursing care. Advancing the state of acute and critical care nursing science for the benefit of hospitalized older adults is why I am committed to integrating real-world clinical practice and nursing research.
