NURS 6660 PMH Nurse Practitioner Role I: Child and Adolescent

Personal Philosophy Statement
Patient care is complex system that is delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Its success requires perfect harmony between the all the involving members. It is vital that the care we deliver as healthcare professional is patient – centered. Therefore, it is important to know the population that we are serving, its needs and its cultural background. In the United States more than any other country, healthcare providers should develop their cultural awareness and competence.
The stigma around the mental illness and the quality of treatment that mentally ill individuals receive have inspired me to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I have felt the necessity to stand up and do what is right as my contribution to fix this urgent issue. In our society, physical or medical diseases provoke empathy, but we demonstrate disdain for people impacted by mental conditions. Like we always say, “See it and fix it”. So, passivity is as wrong as the wrong doing.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I will have the opportunity to care for a multicultural population with different conceptions or point of view about mental health. It is my role and responsibility to understand the cultural differences and provide support to those in need. I have learned that in the healthcare system, we should not be judgmental. My personal philosophy is to treat each and every patient as I would like to be treated. It is a moral obligation to use my knowledge to serve and educate individuals in my community. As a healthcare professional, I believe that I have the capability to change to way mentally ill individuals are viewed and treated. Through my philosophy, I will be able to advocate for holistic and empathic care for individuals with mental health conditions.
Self – Assessment
I have decided to transition from registered nurse (RN) to psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) to better serve my community. So, I have always said and believe that the more someone has the he/she can give. When I decided to go back to school to pursue my goal, I said to myself “I have to choose one of the best schools”. Finally, I have chosen Walden University that I believe meet my expectations. For my Practicum, I have chosen the Compass Health System which has been established in the South Florida since 1990, and it is well respected in the community. They offer their services through their offices and most of the hospital with mental health crisis. They are one the major teaching facilities in mental health in the South Florida.
I have selected preceptors who have been working with Compass Health System for several years. So, they acquired a very solid experience in the field. I have taken great advantage of their experience to strengthen my assessment s.

My Philosophy of Nursing
Nurses carry the baton of care, communication, compassion and commitment.
The platform for my nursing is caring. I believe that nursing has derived from caring
for another humans needs in their emotional or physical being.
I am always privileged to be part of someone's life, and I know that when that
someone reflects on their healthcare experience which I am part of. I hope their
memory is, they were cared for.
The privilege extends to knowing the person for more than their illness. For when I
look at my patient I see a person, but when I communicate with my patient I discover.
Communication allows for providing the best planned care. But communication
needs to be on going to allow for changes. It needs to be fluid to allow for critical
thinking.
Compassion for another human being I believe comes from seeing beyond and
having the ability to put others first.
Nursing is a profession of commitment. When I say; ‘I am a nurse.’ I am saying that I
am dedicated to my patients, their family and my peers.
2. Nursing brings vast responsibility, so the baton I carry and is entrusted with by my
peers is a commitment, communicating that I intend to do well by all.
Personal Statement & Transferable Skills
My passion and dedication to healthcare in our community is shown
throughout the Bachelor of Nursing degree and work experience within the
health industry. The platform for my nursing is caring, as I believe that
nursing has derived from caring for another humans needs in their emotional
or physical being. Having a professional background in sales, I have enjoyed
rewarding times working alongside in partnership with customers. My
transition to the healthcare industry has developed from commitment and a
genuine compassion and care for people and a strong interest in health
science.
Now I am eager to learn what it is to be a registered nurse and exceed in this
professional realm.
With this I bring with me:
an ability to work within a culturally safe manner while promoting quality of life
the ability to form a partnership with people and build therapeutic relationships
I make myself accountable for my decisions
good clinical judgement and critical thinking skills
a sound base of nursing knowledge
the ability to work collaboratively alongside my peers as a team
a good sense of responsibility and respect
excellent time management and organisational skills to achieve desired outcomes
a very personable character
superb communication delivery including verbal and computer literacy
