On May 31, 2004, Pat Van Betten interviewed Elizabeth Beth Francis (born in Laramie, Wyoming) at her home in Las Vegas, Nevada.

During the interview, Beth recalls working at Sunrise and Memorial hospitals and teaching at the local community college and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). A mother of four when she decided to enroll in nursing school, Beth’s nursing career spanned twenty-six years, and during that time she held various coveted positions, such as president of the Nevada Nursing Association. She describes her role in securing a twenty-five percent raise for nurses in Nevada.
