Searching for articles and data

I am writing a paper for NUR472. I am looking for articles and data about the incidence of obesity among nurses. (I need to focus on one of the Healthy People 2010 topics: Obesity. More specifically my topic has to do with obese nurses: causes; i.e. shift work.) If you know of any articles please forward info; I have searched the web for an hour now and can not find a thing. Thanks :rolleyes:
