DONNA M. BECK PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO

[pic]

August 26, 2013

Dear Sir or Madam,

If your establishment is looking for a Nurse Practitioner that is

Vivacious, caring, genuine, and passionate about healthcare, I may be the

one, you are looking for.

My name is Donna Beck. I am inquiring about any opportunity that may be

available within your establishment for a Family nurse Practitioner. I

graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) on December

18, 2010, from the Family Nurse Practitioner Program. I am certified

through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). I bring with

me 20 years experience in the medical field, in which I have undertaken

diverse roles, responsibilities and tasks. Most of my experience has been

in ICU, Cardiac Care and Emergency Room. My most recent experience and my

current job, is West Florida ER, where I practice as a Nurse Practitioner.

Prior to my current job I was the lead provider at the Urgent Care in

Atmore, Alabama. I also worked a few days each week in a primary care

practice. I do have a letter of recommendation from Mr. Tucker, CEO of ACH

Hospital and Rural Health Clinics.

I completed most of my clinical rotations in a very rural setting that was

run by a Family Nurse Practitioner, Jason Box CRNP. I managed many

chronic conditions, and I performed countless procedures under his

direction. Under the direction of my preceptor I experienced working a

rural clinic and covering a small 4 bed ER.

I have a friendly personality and excellent rapport with physicians,

coworkers, and patients that will allow me to be effective and provide

exceptional care as a Certified Nurse Practitioner. Attached is my

complete portfolio for your review. A Reference list can easily be

provided on request.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

I appreciate this opportunity and feel I could be a valuable asset to your

organization.

Sincerely,

Donna M. Beck

empathy and support. I will be an advocate for my patient, in doing

this I will gather and form accurate analysis and management for

chronic and acute diseases. As a Nurse Practitioner, I will carry out

my duties, within the scope of my professional organization and state

MY Philosophy of Advanced Practice Nursing

Donna M. Beck RN, BSN, CRNP

. Nurse Practitioners are licensed independent practitioners who provide

primary and/or specialty nursing and medical care in ambulatory, acute,

and long term care settings. They are Registered Nurses with specialized

advanced education and clinical competency to provide health and Medical

care for a diverse population in a variety of settings (AANP 2006).

. Advanced Practice Nurses are essential in meeting the present and future

health needs of society. Concurrent with Evidence Based Nursing, the APN

uses research to guide clinical decisions that facilitate disease

prevention and health restoration to clients across the lifespan.

. As in the past Nursing has always risen to the occasion to care for those

who were unable to obtain care. Nursing again has answered the cry of

society by educating nurses in Advanced Practice. Nursing has entered

the Primary care and acute care arena's, in answer to the need of health

care.

. My personal philosophy as an APN is to provide optimal health care, to

treat all patients with sincerity and conviction of what I believe about

health care, which is to provide an individualized, holistic, and caring

approach using evidence based knowledge and treatments within my scope of

practice.

. As a caring APN, I have a responsibility to empower individuals to take

responsibility for their health in regards to, healthy life style,

nutritional goals, proper screenings, and health care choices.

. As an APN, I will respect and honor the personal decisions of my

patients. No two patients are the same. A wise APN will take into

account environmental, socio-economic, psychological, and spiritual

factors of the patient.

. As an APN, I will explain and instruct each patient regarding all

treatments, or plans of care, to keep the patient informed and educated.

I see so many patients who do not understand or know their medications.

I intend to take whatever time is necessary to ensure that medications

are understood by the patient.

. Not only will I treat patients with medical problems and hopefully aid

them in restoration of health, but I will also hold disease prevention in

high esteem. I want to be there for the ones who want to know how to

stay well.

. So many clients are timid when approaching their primary care physician

with their worries or concerns. I want to develop an open, honest

atmosphere of genuine care. I want my patients to feel they can call me

for worries or concerns. Only in this type of an open relationship can I

promote optimal health care.

. I am no better than my patients. I am also human. In this attitude I

hope my patients and community will believe in my commitment to them

regarding their health.

. As an APN, I have a responsibility to treat what is within my scope of

practice and a responsibility to refer when it is best for the patient.

It's not about me, it's about the patient.

. As an APN, I will be an advocate for the nursing profession. I will

conduct myself in an ethical, professional manner. I will seek justice,

honor, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and sincerity as an Advance

Practice Nurse.
