Lynn College of Nursing where she earned her baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral degrees. Her interests focus on how caring science can be integrated into nursing practice at the point of care. Dr. Eggenberger’s leading edge studies have investigated how to integrate caring science into teaching nursing using human simulator technologies, and resulted in the development of quantitative measurements of caring within this area. A natural evolution of Dr. Eggenberger’s interests has led her to focus on collaborative care grounded in caring science and in particular, the evaluation of how relationships within and among health care teams influence the quality of interprofessional collaboration.
