PORTFOLIO

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
o.
rs e
As a future nurse practitioner (FNP), I endeavor to provide holistic and high-quality care to all patient
ou urc
population and provide education and support to patients and their families. I pledge to offer equal care
to all patients without discrimination by age, color, or religious affiliations. I also vow to promote a safe
environment for patients to be open and honest without fear of being biased or judged. I provide care to
o
every patient equally and in the manner that I would want to be treated.
aC s
v i y re
In my opinion, the success of FNPs depends on their ability to establish strong relationships with their
patients and attempting to understand their needs from their perspectives. It is vital to enquire from the
patients what they think is happening with their health or the ongoing changes in their bodies.
ed d
Personally, I like asking questions such as, what do you think? How do you feel? These questions help me
to view the patients holistically. Answers to these questions help me understand if the patients'
ar stu
symptoms are psychological or just physical.
Through my years of experience, I have come to realize that our brains, food, and water can make or
sh is
break us. If we can think positively, then we can do better and excel in every aspect of our lives, including
Th
our health and vice versa. My role as an FNP is to encourage personal development, improve patient
care, and promote excellence. I endeavor to treat all the patients as individuals and ensure they receive
the best care. Providing holistic care is one way of ensuring that these patients are mentally, physically,
and mentally fit. I remain true to my principles and values when providing care to my patients by being
honest, kind, and giving them the ultimate respect.
PERSONAL GOALS
Short Term Goals
 Become a certified FNP upon the completion of my MSN program

 Practice cultural inclusivity in leadership, practice, research, and community engagement
6
 Seek full-time employment in a busy organization where I can provide equal and quality care to
patients and communities
 Give voice to the voiceless in my community who are affected by chronic health conditions such
as diabetes.
Long Term Goals
 Enroll in Doctor of Nursing (DNS) program after completion of my MSN program to help me to
successfully implement evidence-based practice in my day to day patient care
 Apply nursing science in the provision of health care and reshaping health systems through
transformative research with a focus on vulnerable populations
 Become an NP preceptor to be able to mentor junior nurse practitioners to become exceptional in
their field
SELF ASSESSMENT
m
er as
Nursing is both an art and science that cannot be explained in one way. Currently, I am working as a float
nurse and a clinical administrator; before that, I moved from the nursing field to another, including
co
eH w
telemetry, ICU, PCU, and an IMCU. This has made me realize that nursing is not the same in all fields
because I encountered different patients with different conditions at each stage. While all these areas
o.
rs e
were exciting, I love working in chronic and acute care settings. I decided to enroll in the family nurse
ou urc
practice program-masters of nursing practice (MSN) back in 2018 because I believed it would equip me
with the necessary skills and experience to handle chronic and acute care cases.
o
The MSN program has given the knowledge of what will make me an excellent family care practitioner
aC s
and helped me gain clinical research skills on the current issues related to healthcare or the role of nurse
v i y re
practitioners in society. As nurses, we encounter many patients from hospital to home care settings and
having a research background is very important in improving the care we provide to the communities. In
essence, research in nursing brings about EBP, which is the best practice in day to day nursing activities.
ed d
In the MSN program, I have taken some theory classes, and I am amazed by how all the nursing theories
ar stu
are essential in providing excellent care to the patients. Working with my preceptor has exposed me to
different chronic and acute conditions that affect the American population. I have also gained skills in
taking histories, performing physical exams, making differential diagnosis, administering medications,
sh is
and preparing patient records to improve patient care. Working at Shady Grove Hospital has helped me
Th
gain more confidence in assessing and treating patients and the administrative functions of a healthcare
facility.
