• Testing the learnability of a lifting intervention to aid in patient transfer using motion capture
  Using motion capture technology, we tested a lifting intervention to determine its learnability. High risk movements increase the risk for musculoskeletal injury, and this intervention shows a direct reduction in these biomechanical risk factors. After a month, individuals remembered the techniques and risk for musculoskeletal injury was reduced.

• Knowledge of environmental health concerns and its influence on RN-BSN nursing practice
  The School of Nursing, and that of Environmental Science, jointly developed a new course entitled Global and Environmental Issues, for RN-BSN students. The goals of this research were for students to develop increased awareness of environmental health care concerns, human's impact on the environment, and to positively impact nursing practice.
