Her dissertation entitled: Being, Becoming, and Belonging: A Constructivist Grounded Theory Study Describing the Process of Social Norm Formation of Nurses Working in Groups. The impetus for this study was her own experiences working in groups and how some groups worked well together and supported each other, while other groups did not. The process of social norm formation of nurses working in groups in the health care setting involves three transitions/processes and their concepts: (a) being, or identifying, as a nurse; (b) becoming a part of the group; and (c) belonging to the group and the profession. The processes are influenced by contextual elements that include personal attributes, work environment, relationships, and communication. The three transitions of being, becoming, and belonging formed the new theory. This study provided a theoretical model explaining the development of the social norms of nurses working in groups in health care. The results identified the elements of context that impact the social norms of nurses and their groups. This knowledge will contribute to informing nursing practice, education, and organizations in their efforts to support nurses and encourage them to remain in the profession.
