PORTFOLIO

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT

As a future psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I aim to provide individualized treatment to my clients by learning about their needs, sharing my knowledge with them and their loved ones, and always acting with compassion and kindness. As a nurse practitioner, I must advocate for my patients and their families while being outspoken about advanced nursing practice's benefits. As an APN, I intend to deliver high-quality, cost-efficient care to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds using the best available evidence to inform my decisions. Maintaining the highest level of competence in my field is essential to provide the best possible treatment to my patients. One of my objectives is to educate the patient and family and get them involved in preventative care. My nursing philosophy aspires to be all-encompassing, including communicating nursing science compassionately and respectfully to the individual receiving care. The satisfaction I get from helping others motivates me to work harder and seeing the positive impact I can have on a client's road to recovery and well-being is humbling.

Self-Assessment

I now understand my obligations better because of my PMHNP role. To meet that obligation, I must improve my skills and put more effort into my ongoing study to raise the professional standards of NPs. I must work with other health professionals to provide mental healthcare services throughout the lifespan to practice in various settings as an interdependent part of the healthcare team. I can do screening history and physical examinations and advanced health assessments to provide initial physical diagnoses and recommend patients for primary care as necessary. Additionally, I can use my clinical expertise and advanced knowledge to diagnose and treat psychiatric-mental health conditions. This includes prescribing psychotropic medications and individual, group, and family psychotherapy, crisis intervention, case management, and consultation.

The PMHNP degree equipped me to bridge the gap between physical and mental health care by preparing me to provide clients with holistic treatment. Understanding the role of the NP and the scope of their practice is essential to delivering high-quality care and treating each patient individually. My understanding of and reflection on the NP's duties to the patient, the hospital staff, and the organization was enhanced by the clinical experience. Clinical skills evaluation form results show that I can generally identify the signs and symptoms of mental disease across the lifetime. I'm also good at differentiating pathophysiological illnesses from psychopathological ones. I have a reasonable degree of trust in my ability to perform and interpret a complete physical and history. The ability to perform and evaluate a functional evaluation is another skill I am confident in. Establishing therapeutic relationships with clients and coworkers requires preserving professional boundaries. I am at ease working with interdisciplinary teams to enhance clinical practice in mental health settings.
