About me
I am primarily interested in end-of-life, palliative and geriatric care. Researching the most effective methods to teach nursing students is also an interest. The use of patient simulators is a key part of my instructional professional development activities. The "Silver Hour" is a model I have developed to describe a unique time in the life of a patient and family. I define the Silver Hour as the 30 minutes before and after death.
