nurse, sometimes itās very difficult to balance our professional development and our
personal lives. The factors mentioned above are part of the duties that a nurse has to attend
to and is still expected to balance it with their professional development and family
concerns. As a nurse, I attempt to make a conscious effort to incorporate ethics, social
justice, public policy, global health, and current public health concerns as a part of my
nursing practice. There are some areas that garner my attention daily such as ethics and
social justice because I encounter patient issues related to those concerns more
often. However, when truly reflect how Iām involved in public policy, global health, and
current public health concerns I realized that I havenāt acknowledged my efforts. Ethics is
very important part of any nurseās practice. I exhibit ethics by practicing HIPAA every day. I
never discuss patientsā situation on social media or have inappropriate conversations in
areas or with individuals that would comprise the patientās identity. In my personal life, I
assist my family and friends navigate the healthcare system. Social justice I practice daily by
ensuring all patients whether they have private insurance, or state insurance receives the
same competent and compassionate nursing care. I also champion for the vulnerable
populations because they either lack the resources, education, finances, or family support to
overcome health disparities. In my personal life, I donāt support any retailers, designers, or
food chains that support racism, sexism, discrimination, or sexual orientation. It may be a
small thing but itās important for me not to support those who donāt support others. While
Iām not active in any public policy committees at work, this is quite different in my personal
life. I have worked on presidential campaigns that were in alignment with my views about
healthcare. Iāve contacted my Congressman about my apprehensions about policies that I
disagree with then applied peer pressure to other people in my life to make telephone calls
as well. Alverno has made me more aware that I need to become more active in public
policy at work. These policies are being made by business people who are not aware of the
impact these changes have on the patients. Out of all the areas mentioned global health is
my weakest. Iāve always admired nurses who volunteer their time to help provide care to
people who are in a healthcare crisis half-way around the world for example Ebola or
2. Sars. This is something Iāve always wanted to do once my life was settled, maybe I will have
an opportunity. Before Iām able to volunteer during a global health crisis I need to
investigate more opportunities to learn about global health and how I become active. At
first, I did not recognize how I integrate that latest public health concern into my private
and nursing practice until my son fell ill on Thursday. This past winter was the worst
Influenza season we had in years. Iām the Flu champion at my facility my responsibilities
include estimating how vaccine to order for the elderly, children, pregnant women, and
regular healthy adults ages 18-64, making sure all the employees are vaccinated by a certain
date, making sure all the nursing stations and reception desks are supplied with masks and
hand sanitizer. In my personal life, I ensure my family members received the flu shot every
year, encouraged them to stay home from work and school when they are sick, encouraging
good hand hygiene, and wearing masks when they are sick. During the last seventeen
months, Alverno has helped me developed a global perspective and effective citizenship
that I was unaware was absent. Iāve learned about the impact of social determinants of
health on populations and health comes.
