Tracie Kirkland, University of Arkansas assistant professor of nursing, presented her research on the role of advanced practice registered nurses in pre-diabetes screening at a national meeting of occupational health nurses May 6 in Dallas.

Kirkland, who joined the faculty of the Eleanor Mann School of Nursing last fall, was a speaker at a plenary session of the combined global summit and national conference of the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses. She talked about screening in the workplace and the effects of early lifestyle changes.

The presentation stemmed from Kirkland's capstone research project at Texas Christian University, where she received a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.
