About
Salary compression, college faculty: more recent hires vs longer-term faculty, per rank and department
Development of a theory-based child passenger safety scale to measure parent or caregiver knowledge, attitudes, practices, and consistency.
Numerous program, course, and curriculum outcome and evaluation studies, over 20 years or so.
Quantitative and qualitative comparison of exam and standardized exam scores, undergrad nursing, for intensively mentored (by experienced, experty, on-site faculty) vs usual (posted guidelines, observational OR experience, off-site faculty).
Theory-based analysis and interpretation of student evaluations of clinical sites, based on recent published findings, and current undergrad student positive and harsh negative ratings and comments.
Transformation of course exam scores, item and person scores, per Rasch analysis; implications for improved NCLEX-RN outcomes during semesters or years, when the exam scores were below state standards for program accreditation.
Ongoing analyses, percentiles in addition to faculty-set cutpoint scores, which became retrospectively appreciated after several semesters with NCLEX-RN program pass rates below state standards.
Faculty development for logistic regression analysis.
Faculty development for statistical analysis of big data sets; graduate level competencies, accrediting agencies, require doctoral student content and competencies with big data sets and population health.
Multiple years, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, Nursing Research Council; Our Lady of the Lake College Research Council; Our Lady of the Lake College IRB
Great Expectations, National Health Start, Infant Mortality reduction, City of New Orleans and Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. mid to late 1990s. Abstractor of maternal and infant medical records, multiple hospitals and health care sites, for presentation at the periodic Infant Mortality Review meetings. I had the unique obstetric nursing, biostat and epidemiology, and ability to go into any hospital/provider setting, follow leads, request additional medical records, and find pertinent information in the records. Others on the team linked birth and fetal death certificates. In addition to the usual work, I had the ability to go to sites, fit in, ask the right questions, and request (within protocols and approvals) additional information that led to answers for the final remaining missing cases, near the end of the project.

Organizations
Other Interests
I am current retired DNS, MPH Associate Professor Nursing, but will likely return to work, at least part time, teaching grad and perhaps undergrad biostat and epidemiology; and supervising doctoral student studies and projects. Most recently, I have been Chair, doctoral student, nurse anesthesia, who's project involved acute kidney injury, hemoglobin level, blood transfusion, and surgeries with aortic stenosis. I anticipate either working as part time faculty, and/or as consultant, to graduate faculty. I have questions about some of the variable names, in the STS database. For example, what does VS stand for? I have not found that in the glossary, nor in the Training Manual.
