Bio Sketch

Dr. Campbell's career began in adult critical care as a staff nurse and promotion to educator. After graduate school, she transitioned to a new field of practice as an acute care nurse practitioner in palliative care. Recognizing the many gaps in evidence, she began producing prospective descriptive correlational studies that led her to PhD completion. Since graduation, Dr. Campbell has focused her research on assessment and treatment of dyspnea among adult patients who are approaching the end of life.
