Personal Statement

I have taught community health nursing and am the co author of a community health textbook "Community Heath Nursing, An Alliance for Health (which we are revising this fall), but my passion lies in utilization of the computer to enhance nursing education. I have written several articles on the use of PDAs in healthcare and on computer testing. My most recent book chapter deals with computer testing and appears in the Annual Review of Nursing Education, Volume 2, 2004.
