from Indiana University and a Ph.D. in Family Nursing from Oregon
Health Sciences University. Her dissertation, "Homeless Women:
Their Perceptions About Their Families of Origin," was
supported by a National Research Service Award.

this field has been published in the Western Journal of Nursing

both male and female long-haul truckers.
