Doctor of Nursing Practice devoted to providing safe, holistic patient-centered care through interdisciplinary collaboration, interpersonal communication and evidence-based means. My past volunteer experiences have allowed me to serve a diverse array of staff and patient populations through effective teamwork, teaching and communication. But nursing school was a true catalyst in skills acquisition, enhancement and igniting my passion for helping others through healthcare.My journey in nursing began in the Generalist Entry Master's of Science in Nursing (GEM-MSN) program at Rush University Medical Center, where I was afford priceless opportunities to become adept at assessment of patient conditions to formulate diagnoses, development of care plans, implementation of evidence-based practices to improve care outcomes, and evaluation of outcomes for patient care plan revision. I was also able to become proficient at critical thinking, task delegation, integrating good judgement in decision-making as well as care prioritization based on patient conditions and diagnoses to optimize patient well-being. I have recently completed the PMHNP-DNP program at the University of San Francisco to advance these skill sets even further to specialize in the realm of psychiatric and mental health care within the role of a nurse practitioner.The field of nursing has afforded me the invaluable opportunity to enhance my skill set and most importantly, has given me an avenue for putting those skills toward making a difference in others' lives within the realm of health care. I look forward to such future opportunities and a position that would allow for just that; a chance to apply my knowledge and abilities toward safe, quality care of patients while fostering continuous professional growth.
