Jeanine’s research interest includes the perception of nurses toward a sickle cell patient seeking medical intervention during a crisis through the emergency department. If given the opportunity, she would focus on this area. The only research paper she has completed is her thesis on sickle cell crisis and it can be found at the Michigan and D’Youville College libraries.
Jeanine was inspired by her grandfather at an earlier age to become a nurse. From this inspiration, she focused on sciences in school in order to learn about the anatomy and physiology of the human body. In 1970, she immigrated to Canada and her dream of becoming a nurse began.
Jeanine stated that she strived to make a difference in the lives of her patients by developing therapeutic relationships with them. And seeing as how she had the opportunity to listen to their immediate health or basic needs for over 32 years, she now strives to pass on her knowledge to others through teaching.
