1.My philosophy of nursing is rooted in science.  Nursing science can be defined as “the substantive, discipline-specific knowledge that focuses on the human universe health process articulated in the nursing frameworks and theories” (Parse, 2016).  More specifically, my interests lie in the field of human science.  I have worked in the field of behavioral health for the entirety of my nursing career.  In the field of human sciences, “knowledge takes the form of descriptive theories regarding structures, processes, relationships, and traditions that underlie psychological, social, and cultural aspects of reality (McEwen & Wills, 2019).  As one can imagine, when you are working in the field of human science, data can be more challenging to quantify because of the subjectivity that exists.  For example, comparing levels of anxiety based on a patient’s self-reported 1-10 scale versus a more tangible data point like the current number of Covid positive patients in the emergency room.
                                                             Goals for Expanding my Experience
            In order to expand my experience as a DNP, I will first focus on collaboration.  To me collaboration is key for a number of different goals that I have.  Firstly, to decrease stigma associated with mental illness.  I can collaborate with my local National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) chapter to hold events in my community that help to decrease stigma and other negative affiliations.  I also aim to decrease the amount of suicide in my community.  My hope is that by raising awareness and decreasing stigma, community members will feel more empowered to seek help before taking their lives.
                                                                         Social Change Agent
            As a DNP, my goal is to continue to provide the best care for patients in my community.  By decreasing stigma associated with mental illness I hope to decrease suicide rates.  Additionally, healthcare access and quality is one of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services social determinants of health.  As an agent for social change, I aim to increase the number of service lines that my organization provides so that more community members in need will be able to access the mental health services they need.  By increasing resources for mental health services, and decreasing the stigma affiliated with mental illness, I believe that I can make an impact and help save lives in my community.
2. Everyone is responsible for making meaning out of life. As a woman of color, I strive to understand the barriers that exist among individuals of underserved communities and vulnerable populations such as the homeless, women, children, and the unemployed. I developed my passion for becoming a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner after working with adolescents in an inpatient hospital. Then, I transferred to a forensic psychiatric unit, and I am currently in a long-term stabilization psychiatric unit. This led me to pursue a Psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner at Walden University. During my practicum rotations, I took my work seriously, knowing being a nurse and striving for success in becoming an advanced practitioner required dedication, commitment, and passion for patient care. This involved persistence in finding the best patient care, practicing patience and kindness no matter the patient’s situation and educating patients and their families on how to best care for their mental health. It has been rewarding to see patients at their lowest and most vulnerable state when their psychiatric symptoms are stabilized, and they are discharged from the hospital.
With more than twenty years of nursing experience, I have worked in acute hospital settings, including medical-surgical, sub-acute units, and psychiatry. I also have experience in home-based psychiatric nursing. My experience as a bedside nurse and home care has shaped my practice to work with individuals and families and educate patients about how to optimize their health. I am passionate about mental health and look forward to the new role as a psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner. I am interested in working with individuals and groups with various mental health issues on their recovery journey. I consider myself a considerate person who thinks about the consequences of my decisions. I treat others with respect. I will strive to educate others in the community on making healthy choices and inspiring change. I like to spend time with my family, travel, and read.
 Nursing philosophy is a statement of foundational and universal assumptions, beliefs, and principles about the nature of knowledge and thoughts that give perspective to practice (McEwen et al., 2019). As a DNP provider, my role as a social change agent will require an understanding of the nursing process and how to translate knowledge acquired through the curriculum and work experience to change my patients’ lives. I will utilize personal knowledge regarding how I view myself and the patients. Also, using clinical knowledge results from using multiple ways to solve problems during patient care (McEwen et al., 2019). I will continue to advocate for patients dealing with mental health disorders, as most of them suffer from homelessness when they are discharged from inpatient hospitals. I will be pleased to work with the community and the Department of Mental Health to provide resources to sustain these individuals and help them integrate into the community.
 DNP-prepared providers can play different roles, such as nurse administrators, advanced practice nurses (APNs), researchers, and educators (Tussing et al., 2018). My goal is to improve practice in the field of mental health by conducting research, interpreting data, and disseminating results. Through advocacy, I can be the voice for the voiceless, especially those affected by mental illness. APNs have the potential to help the world reach the Sustainable Development Goal of universal health coverage (Wheeler et al., 2022). My role currently includes but is not limited to assessment, diagnosing, ordering, and interpreting laboratory tests and prescribing medications for patients in inpatient psychiatric and mental health hospitals.
