Professional Development Goals
The first thing that should be noted is that psych nursing is a
recent academic option, which is highly relevant that more
people are trained in it and help to broaden and deepen the
scientific foundation of the care it offers. Although the psych
nurses are already able to carry out different activities without
the need for another health professional to indicate them, it is
important that they can acquire greater independence so that
their contribution is even greater, which is my first professional
development goal. Therefore, the degree in psych nursing must

3. be strengthened, with studies and evidence that allow the
framework of the work of those who practice it to grow and, in
turn, encourage its professionals to intervene promptly to avoid
complicating the medical situation of a patient.
I would like to be supportive, have a vocation for service, be
responsible, and be organized. It is these basic qualities that
will allow me to develop a nursing career. The organization and
responsibility would be oriented there because the nurse, by
nature, has to have an order, for the same reason that in the
career, they develop everything in a programmed and systematic
way (Hasan, Elsayed & Tumah, 2018). Also, empathy with
patients is essential when developing the vocation of a psych
nurse. It has to do with that ability that the human being has to
be able to understand the feeling in others. This is the skill that
nurses develop during the training process and apply it later in
their professional life.
Thus, an outgoing personality is needed more because psych
nurse professionals contact all kinds of people, being they who
are waiting or leaving the doors open for anyone who comes to
a hospital or health center to receive the necessary help.
Normally in a hospital center, the attention is a little greater
than any other job. Nurses tend to have a little more stress
(Grove & Gray, 2018). So, this situation of being mobilized and
noticing the activities they perform are often related to other
types of tasks that can cause exhaustion, which is more
psychological than physical. In professional life, it is almost
similar, they have an activity of situations, and more or less,
they have to project what activity to do in front of each one of
them.
Alignment with Social Change
The alignment of psych nursing to social change is a crucial
step in ensuring that this field has an impact on the healthcare
industry. There has been technological development which has
brought an impact to the way people live and interact. This has
led to various institutions developing values and missions that
professionals have to meet. These values and missions are better

4. identified in unlike other studies where they do not identify
themselves as individuals, they only perceive themselves as a
group within the work team. There is a domestic origin of psych
nursing that contributes to its low recognition, especially of
those who do not use nursing services in the community setting
(Lewis, 2018). Therefore, as a psych nurse practitioner, I will
align my values to social change by giving value to listening,
advice, and monitoring of activities scheduled in mentally ill
patients.
In the framework of the development of computer care services,
I will get closely related to routine and simple care actions,
which means being in an area closer to the most domestic one.
In addition, I will address the complexity of care, especially in
the home care that mentally, dependent and fragile patients
require today. This will open the possibility for the recognition
of my role as a guarantor and a coach in all the social health
areas working in a comprehensive and coordinated way to find
themselves in the place that the patient and his family need.
Conclusion
A psych nurse practitioner is in a privileged place, since he or
she has achieved some visibility. Psych nurses value proximity
and accessibility as an element of value. Besides, they are
recognized as professionals who can help. Therefore, it is time
they work on the idea of being coaches for mentally ill patients
and their families, in fragility, and supporting health promotion
strategies. This ensures their safety in a model self-care and at a
sustainable price. The nursing practice is based on solid values,
very much in the relationship and interaction that can support
the global system as a whole due to its ability to respond to the
needs of the users and of the system itself in the right measure.
