Norma G Cuellar, DSN, RN

Assistant Professor of Nursing

My research focuses on the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in patients with sleep problems, specifically Restless Legs Syndrome. Since RLS is not correctly diagnosed until older age, my focus is on gerontological perspectives of both CAM and RLS.
