Ruth Engbers, BSN, RN
- Clinical Instructor
Since becoming a registered nurse in 2005, I have worked in inpatient and outpatient oncology settings, home hospice, and home health. I am currently working towards my PhD in nursing at Marquette University. My dissertation focus is on how views of suffering and positive thinking relate to compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction in nursing students.
