IEN Program Manager & Nurse Scientest for the Temple Region
Baylor Scott & White Central Texas
I am an early career nurse researcher with a focus on work engagement, burnout, well-being, transition to practice and nursing professional development. I have worked in long term care, emergency department, and nursing professional development for critical care, progressive care, and emergency department settings. I have presented poster and podium presentations at local, national, and international conferences on topics as transition to practice, nursing professional development well-being, cultural competence, and evidence-based practices. I have published a literature review in examining personal resources that contribute to work engagement and implication to NPD and published the result of a research study examining work engagement, burnout, and wellbeing in the NPD practitioner. I am motivated to spark the spirit of inquiry in nurses to further contribute to nursing science, generating new knowledge, and implement evidence-based practices.
