I have written to Dr. Reed because my research interest should be most appropriate to this project. I will confirm this with her of course. One thing that I have found in my career as a RN is that the lack of interest by our society towards long-term care settings fires my passion for the area. I have investigated elder abuse in every single facility that I have been the Director of Nursing. I also have seen such abuse in hospital settings and in fact, it seems to be hidden better in the hospital environment. These vulnerable elderly are my calling indeed.

Thanks so much for the information,

Barbara
