RESPONSE IS DUE TONIGHT I THOUGHT I HAD UNTIL TOMORROW BUT ITS DUE AT
MIDNIGHTIntroductionMy name is Amalfam, a lot of people call me Jenine even its my
middle name but because it is easier for them to pronounce. I graduated with my ADN in
2011 from Nigeria, and my BSN in 2020(3 weeks back). Back in Nigeria I specialized in
ophthalmology and I enjoyed being an ophthalmic nurse before I migrated to the state.
Mostly I worked in a nursing home as a charge nurse, nevertheless, out of my 9years total
nursing years, 3 of them have been in skilled nursing home. I really enjoyed working in
nursing home as it let me work with various types of patients with many different disease
conditions. I am a mother of 3 (1boy and 2girls), who are very little 3year, 2 and 10month
who keeps me busy all day with various activity, so it allowed me the opportunity and
flexibility to still be able to attend their activities, I so glad to start my FNP program, as I
plan to go back to my community someday and give back what I have learn, and finally am
so glad because I was just offered a position to become the ADON at my facility. After
completing my BSN, I was then faced with the task of finding a graduate program. I knew
that I needed an on line program because of family and other things. I also knew that I
needed an institution that would foster my love of helping others and my desire to make a
change in the lives of those I care for because one of my desire is to give back to my
community. I chose Walden University because their mission and vision statement aligned
perfectly with my goals. Walden Nursing Graduate Mission DiscussionWalden’s Vision,
Mission, and Social ChangeWalden’s Vision, Mission, and Goals are precisely what an
educational program should be. The vision of Walden states that it “envisions a distinctively
different 21st-century learning community, etc. (Walden, 2019). The health care industry is
constantly changing and fast growing, this is what is required so that people like this writer
with kids and other things to deal with can still achieve their educational goals and balance
family. The Convenience and flexibility give people the opportunity to plan study time
around the rest of their day, instead of the other way around, study and work at their
convenience. Walden’s mission Focus on Social Change which encourages and aids
collective partnerships, act which lead to meaningful action for social change to provide a
diverse community of career professional’s opportunities to effect positive social change is
what this writer have always looked forward too. The management and administrative part

2. of nursing is where I want to see a positive and social change. Walden describes positive
social change as “a deliberate process of creating and applying ideas, strategies, and actions
to promote the worth, dignity, and development of individuals, communities, organizations,
institutions, cultures, and societies” (Walden, 2019). All of these qualities are key objectives
that I have for myself and hope to obtain the knowledge to be able to do so when I have
completed the program. However, particularly, culture is what stands out to me. I feel that
culture in an environment in which effort, teamwork, and accountability, are the focus of
patient care, only good outcomes can come from this. This type of culture is how I always
approach my nursing career and that I hope to achieve on a higher level when becoming a
scholar-practitioner.Walden’s MSN Program OutcomesA lot of Walden’s program results
clearly are connected to my professional and academic goals. Eventually my goal is to
become the FNP in a hospital coming from Nigeria and did not complete my ADN here in the
state, This is a tough goal to achieve, for me couple with having 3little ones, however I fully
believe that with this program I will have all of the education, training, help and guidance to
be able to do so. Personally, there are two major program outcomes that mostly stand out
for my own professional goals. First outcome that stands out for my profession and goals is
to “Evaluate health needs of diverse populations for necessary teaching/coaching functions
based on specialist nursing knowledge to restore/promote health and prevent
illness/injury (Walden, 2019). At my facility, nurses are to evaluate needs of the patient,
educate them and promote health, wellness by preventing gaps in their care, teaching them
how to effectively manage their health and communicate with their providers. This is the
ultimate key for patients to have good outcomes and that is what I hope to be able to
accomplish as an FNP. Another is “Display ongoing commitment to professional
development and value of nursing theories/ethical principles (altruism, autonomy, human
dignity, integrity, social justice) in accordance with ethically responsible, legally
accountable, specialist nursing practice” (Walden, 2019). I feel that working as a charge
nurse and hopefully accepting my next position as the ADON of my facility after the
pandemic, is going to be tough, as we all know that the ADON always face the huge hurdle of
Assisting with management of the Department of Nursing, including evaluation of staff.
Evaluate and act around complaints, failed audits, and staff problems. Maintain and update
audit, compliance, and legal documentation, including analyzing patient and staff data. So, I
hope to change the negative thoughts that Nurses have about being an ADON. I used to be
one of them and felt am always ignored by the ADON, however now that I am on the
opposite side of it, I have much more clarity as to why they do what they do because they
have a lot of work to get done in a short period of time. This outcome can be a huge
accomplishment for me to obtain and at the same time working toward my professional
goal because while we as nurses have an obligation to remain ethical and provide care to
patients in a professional manner, there is still need to work and collaborate as a team to
enhance good patient outcome and job satisfaction.ReferencesWalden University. (2019).
