    Reason for Selecting the Individual/Team and their Support in my Success:

    During the first week of my MSN program, I noticed that my course mates in the MSN program at Walden university were going to significantly impact my network. Through various networks with my fellow students, I managed to develop an academic network of individuals with the same goals that included gaining the required knowledge and clinical skills and passing my examinations. NRSE 6003/ NURS-6003 Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network. The Class Café on Blackboard at Walden university helps to create a network with various students within the class NRSE 6003/ NURS-6003 Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network. In addition, there are Facebook and WhatsApp groups that have been created to facilitate networking among students.

I came to know Dr. xx through a mutual friend who is also a postgraduate student at Walden University. I selected this professional because they have a record of selflessness when it comes to offering mentorship to students who are upcoming advanced practice registered nurses or APRNs. Dr. xx has successfully mentored and nurtured many APRN students who are now practicing psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) in different states. It is this proven record and history of nurturing upcoming scholar-practitioners that endeared me to Dr. xx. I believe Dr. xx will support my success in my MSN program by pointing out to me the important areas that an APRN needs to pay attention to in practice. I also know that I will get support in mastering the techniques of interviewing patients and clients, as well as performing a thorough physical examination. Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network. I also know that Dr. xx will be a very important resource person to be in the sense that she will introduce me to her professional network of friends and colleagues who will also contribute to my success by answering my many questions (Wofford, 2018; Schmidt, n.d.).

Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network. Because he has been practicing for just two years, he is still fresh and can offer invaluable advice to me concerning course expectations and strategies for success. Most importantly, his recent study as a postgraduate specialist student nurse at Walden University makes him for me the best person to assist me with research matters. I understand that as a postgraduate MSN student, research is the lifeblood of the course. Titus will greatly support my success in the MSN program and as a practicing PMHNP. He will do this by giving me tips on how to effectively accomplish course objectives (since he has been there), by directing me on the best way to present my work for maximum credit, and by teaching me what it takes to succeed as a PMHNP in practice (ANCC, n.d.)

The faculty team will support my success in the MSN program and also as a practicing PMHNP after graduation by giving me guidance and encouragement during the course but also by being supportive of me as a former student even after successful graduation (Walden University, 2020).

    Mr. Parkes as the student advisor in academics will be a very important resource person to me as I look forward to succeeding in my MSN course at Walden University. He will help monitor the progress of my postgraduate degree course and help keep me on course. As an academic advisor he will also provide support, suggest resources, and counsel when needed. Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network. This is why I chose him to be in my success team. Learning for a postgraduate degree when one is employed and has family responsibilities is not one of the easiest things to do. Without a robust support system, therefore, one is bound to fail Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network. Even if one’s family were to fully support them in this endeavor, they would still not make it without the support of the academic advisor. This is because it is very easy to be overwhelmed by the coursework after one has had a rough day at work. Mr. Parkes will therefore support my success in the MSN program by guiding me on the best way to achieve a student-work balance. He will also help me succeed as a practicing PMHNP by offering advice on certification, licensure, and professional development Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network.

    Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development

    Success, Outlook, and Professional Development of the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner or PMHNP

    The Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) and falls under the role of nurse practitioner or NP, according to the APRN Consensus Model (Registered Nursing.org, 2019). This model specifies four APRN roles of which the RN role under which the PMHNP falls is just but one. The other three roles are certified nurse midwife (CNM), certified registered nurse anaesthetist (CRNA), and clinical nurse specialist or CNS (Registered Nursing.org, 2019) Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development. The PMHNP is therefore concerned specifically with issues of mental health in thr community, including their assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. As an APRN nurse practitioner specialty, the PMHNP’s population focus is solely psychiatric-mental health (Registered Nursing.org, 2019) Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development.

    ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER HERE

    Of course the other APRN specialties are also just as important in ensuring the health of entire communities. For instance, coparison can be made between the PMHNP specialty and the APRN specialising in the population focus of Adult-Gerontology. This latter specialty concerns itself with the health problems of adolescents, young adults, mature adults, and those that are in their old age. Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development The APRN assesses, investigates, diagnoses, treats, and follows up these adolescents and adults holistically. As for the PMHNP, they provide holistic mental health care to the entire population across the lifespan. The PMHNP is highly trained and prepared ti do all this. This is because at Walden University specifically, the Master of Science in Nursing or MSN graduate program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education or CCNE (Walden University, 2019). This is a national accreditation agency recognised by the Ministry of Education. Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development.

    Justification for Choosing Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Specialty

    Just like the other specialties in the APRN family, advanced nursing practice as a PMHNP involves education at the highest postgraduate level. Above all, there is extensive requirement of clinical competency achievement before any certification can be awarded. Beibg a PMHNP is one of the most fulfilling career prospects in healthcare in the United States. This is especially true in the states that have embraced legislation allowing for autonomous full practice authority or FPA for nurse practitioners. The reasons for choosing the MSN specialty of PMHNP are therefore manifold. The enactment of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 added significantly to the number of those people who are insured for mental health care (Phoenix et al., 2016). However, because there was no commensurate rise or increase in the numbers of mental health care providers, the position if a PMHNP has become attractive and lucrative. PMHNPs are now more than required to fill in the provider gap and offer holistic primary mental health care especially at the grassroots or community level. Because of this state of affairs, it has been estimated that the demand for PMHNPs will have grown by 20% by the year 2020 (Walden University, 2019).

    The demand for the PMHNP at the primary health care (PHC) level is what makes it even more attractive. This is because at that level, the clinician is quite independent and autonomous in the treatment decisions they make. This allows the PMHNP to practice to the fullest level of their education and training Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development. The PMHNP in doing this is responsible for psychiatric diagnoses, mental and physical health assessments, coming up with treatment plans, prescribing psychoactive and other medications, performing counselling and/ or psychotherapy, engaging in interprofessional collaborative teamwork with ither health professionals, giving patient education and health promotion, mental health advocacy on policy and legislation, and community sensitization among other roles (Nurse Practitioner Schools, 2019). After education, training, certification, and licensure; opportunities for practice for the PMHNP are many. Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development. Among other settings in which the PMHNP can practice are mental health clinics, correctional facilities, private practice, domestic violence shelters, community mental health centres, schools, substance abuse facilities, and inpatient or outpatient psychiatric clinics (Walden University, 2019). Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development.

    The extensive preparation the PMHNP training offers is another factor that attracts to the specialty. The nurse practitioner in psychiatric-mental health is thoroughly trained in mental health disorders, child psychological and mental health, adolescent psychological and mental health, adult psychological and mental health, mental health statistics, mental health research and evidence-based interventions, mental health promotion, advanced pathophysiology and pharmacology, the social determinants of health, and the concept of social justice and inequity in the access to mental health care (Nurse Practitioner Schools, 2019) Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development. Moreover, certification of the PMHNP is rigorous and is done by the reputable American Nurses Credentialing Centre (ANCC). For this to happen, though, the prospective PMHNP must be in possession of a graduate degree, a valid registered nurse license, and at least 500 clinical hours that are supervised. Conveniently, this certification is renewable after 5 years. This gives the PMHNP the peace of mind to practice without worrying about the expiry of certification in the span of just a year (Nurse Practitioner Schools, 2019) Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development.

    The American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) as the Appropriate Professional Body for the PMHNP

Ut currently has a membership of over 13,500 members across the United States. As a professional organisation the APNA is quite inclusive as it accepts membership from those psychiatric-mental health nurses with associate degrees, baccalaureate degrees, MSN, and up to the terminal and apex Doctor of Nursing Practice or DNP (APNA, 2019). Becoming a member of the APNA requires one to first write an email to the organization after which they are sent registration forms to fill in and pay the annual or monthly membership fee (APNA, 2019) Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP Success, Outlook, and Professional Development.

These include but are not limited to continuous professional education (CE) opportunities, position papers on various issues if interest to the members such as mental health advocacy, scholarships, and opportunities for networking with other mental health professionals among others (Nurse Practitioner Schools, 2019).

    Examining Nursing Specialist

    Comparison of Two Nursing Specialties

    The nurse practitioner covers various specialties. My preferred nursing specialty is psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) and I will compare it with the family nurse practitioner (FNP) specialty. Both PMHNP and FNP specialties require master’s degree in nursing, normally MSN. In addition, both specialties have training and education required for the assessment of mental health disorders. However, PMHNPs have wide training in psychiatry to perform detailed assessments of mental health disorders in patients.  In addition, while the PMHNP is trained to provide psychotherapy, the FNP is supposed to collaborate with psychiatric practitioners for the provision of psychotherapy when indicated.  PMHNPs also treat mental aspects of psychiatric patients but this does not fall in the scope of practice of FNP (Bickford et al, 2015) Psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) vs family nurse practitioner (FNP) specialty comparison.

    Justification Statement for Choosing PMHNP

    The reason for choosing the specialty is because as a PMHNP I will be able to work with psychiatric patients of all ages, I will also practice in various locations such as in-patient psychiatric facilities, state correctional facilities, psychiatric facilities, schools, and mental health centers. As a PHMNP, I will be able to assess, diagnose, and treat individuals with mental health disorders. This will encompass screening high-risk individuals for possible mental disorders in the future. The American Psychiatric Nurses Association indicates that PMHNPs can prescribe medications and provide psychotherapy, and at the same time play an active role in policy development, and help in healthcare reform (Chapman et al, 2019) Psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) vs family nurse practitioner (FNP) specialty comparison. Therefore, I will be able to advocate for people with mental health disorders and even influence policies that support addressing many issues that people with mental disorders face. This has always been my passion because mental health issue has been neglected for long, and also mental health patients normally face many issues in the society such as discrimination and stigmatization, which may prevent them from seeking proper treatment. In addition, as a PMHNP I will be able to practice and work in healthcare institutions, organizations, and communities as well. This specialty also enables a person to function as a consultant to link to clients and families, with complex mental health issues (Chapman et al, 2019) Psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) vs family nurse practitioner (FNP) specialty comparison.

    Professional Organization

    The organization related to my specialization as a PMHNP, is the Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA). APNA is a professional organization that is dedicated to the practice of mental health nursing, health promotion through identification of psychiatric issues, preventing mental health problems, and provision of care and treatment to individuals with mental disorders.

    I plan to become an active member of the organization by joining the organization and always paying the required membership fee. As a member, I will connect with other members and benefit from experts’ knowledge of other members through discussion site, member bridge, and APMN’s networking and find opportunities for professional growth. In addition, I plan join the educational programs provided by APNA and always attend the conferences and seminars organized by the organization. Such conferences and seminars will help me gain knowledge and competency in my specialty (Quinn-Szcesuil, 2016) Psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) vs family nurse practitioner (FNP) specialty comparison.

    Strategies for Addressing Questions

    We learn many things about life and discover new information by asking questions. Since going back to school is an investment in to the future, it’s very crucial to know the exact information needed to make an informed decision, considering the fact that only 61% of students complete their master’s degree education (Sandy Baum & Patricia Steele, 2017). During my graduate school exploration, I formulated set of questions to guide me choose the right school Strategies for Addressing Questions NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion.

    Some of the questions that I assembled include: How much is the cost of attendance? How many credit hours required for graduation? How long will it take to graduate, based on part-time or full-time status? Should I enroll On-campus or off-campus school? What is the accreditation like? What kind of career assistance is available? Strategies for Addressing Questions NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion What are the graduation requirements? Based on the responses I received from various sides, I chose Walden University.

    Inquiries about the program were sufficed by the enrollment specialist who I have being in contact since enrollment. Further questions regarding program preparation, work-study balance, and dos and don’ts were addressed by two individuals from my academic and professional network. Thanks to the stories and insights featured on Walden’s Spotlight program, Dr. Pyllis Morgan mentions that having a strong support system can reduce the stress and the anxiety in today’s frantic life (Morgan, 2017).

    However, there are couple questions that I haven’t being able to get answers yet:

    What applied experiences including internships, are included in Nursing Executive degree?

    Do most students publish an article or present a paper before graduation?

    I am hoping that I will get the answers as I go along with the program. Strategies for Addressing Questions NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion

    Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions

    In Module 1, you began building a foundation for your success by considering a network-individuals and teams who can help you to clarify and execute on the vision. A network is most helpful when you are comfortable asking questions. Chances are other members of your network have experienced similar questions and may have helped guide others toward resolutions that can now be helpful Strategies for Addressing Questions NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion.

    In this Discussion, focus on the questions you are ready to ask as your journey begins. Keep in mind that sharing questions is often a great way to help others who have similar questions even if they do not realize it!

    To prepare:

    Reflect on questions or concerns you might have as you begin the MSN program.

    Consider the individuals, teams, and departments you previously considered in Module 1 as well as how they may provide support with addressing these questions and concerns.

    By Day 3 of Week 2

    Post
    any questions or concerns that you are willing to share with the group. The Discussion board represents an opportunity to network with your course colleagues, and others may have the same questions or concerns Strategies for Addressing Questions NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion.

    By Day 6 of Week 2

    Respond
     to at least 
    two
     of your colleagues’ posts by offering a possible resolution to their questions/concerns with supporting documentation, if possible, or expanding on their thinking and providing an example as support.

    One of the major questions I have as I begin the nursing program concerns the topic for my capstone project. I have had some of my colleagues and friends who have gone before me get stuck at the project stage either because they could not get an appropriate topic or get the relevant data for the project. Strategies for Addressing Questions NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion I have tried to think ahead to what will interest me and what will be relevant to my practice so that when the time comes I will not have major challenges. Sigma theta tau international will be useful in helping me understand the issues that affect the profession and delivery of care, and guide me in selecting a topic, buy understanding previous research by the organization (Sigma, 2020). The American Nurses Association (ANA, 2020) will provide access to peer reviewed journal that will help guide me in selecting the direction for my topic, by providing access to scholarly articles in my interested field. My mentors will also help me select a topic and provide any further guidance and direction during the project Strategies for Addressing Questions NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion.

    Another concern I may have is over my licensing and certification, how to go about it and how to prepare to ensure that I pass in record time and begin my practice. My mentors will play a major role in helping me prepare for the exams and in providing me with useful tips and strategies. Sigma Theta Tau will provide a useful platform for networking with other students and nurse leaders exceptional in their fields (Sigma, 2020) Strategies for Addressing Questions NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion. Through these networks, I may get advice and support not only on the licensing exams but also on future practice. The ANA (2020) will also provide opportunities for networking where I can connect with like- minded professionals in research and practice, which will help guide the progression and direction of my career during and after my masters’ program.

I work in the Long-Term Care (LTC) setting. NURS 6003 Week 1 Discussion.

    My ultimate goal is to work as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I plan to provide empathetic, compassionate care that is all-inclusive.

    Attending Walden was not an easy choice for me, so many thoughts rushed through my mind as I began to doubt my ability to return to school and obtain a degree. I can honestly say that it was something about the commercial that pulled me in, and after speaking to some of my colleagues who had attended Waldend and receiving only good reports I was almost sold.

    NRSE / NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions

    Taking up the Masters of Science in Nursing is a matter that has caused me sleepless nights wondering how to go about the program and what is expected on me. After completing my BSN, not long ago, thoughts of advancing my profession clinched my mind, with the sole aim of increasing my professionalism to become a well-skilled nurse who not only meets the goals of his patients but only intervene to challenges in my organization. However, I had worries of how to go around my Masters, stress that I even have now. One of the concerns that really is an issue, is choosing between family nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist. NRSE / NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions Earlier my goal was to be CRNA but changed my mind after I shadowed a CRNA. Currently, in my unit I work with patients who mostly are septic or DKA, and I hope to find a specialty between the two that will work well for me. Keeping my network members close in this journey of advancing my profession, most of them say that I can work well when specializing with certain patients like those suffering diabetes, and therefore, I think that specializing  as a CNS, would be a good thing to me, though am still bound to change.

    Another great concern I have is how to balance between my overwhelming work schedule and now my master’s program. One of my network members, Jessica an assistant physician, tells me it is the highest time I start planning ahead if I want to have a smooth flow doing my master’s program. She tells me that keep track of my assignments, projects, upcoming tests and events should now be my new norm, which will certainly do but am a bit anxious. NRSE / NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions She encourages me to always reach out to the professor early enough to clarify issues, and because I will now be engaged with a lot of issues to manage, she explains the need for self-care to rest and meditate on issues and engage with friends. Another concern before applying for the master’s program was how to create my professional portfolio, and that is how I came to join Walden University after my educational network friend Mr. Reginald, an enrollment advisor, cleared the way for me after explaining the benefits of studying in Walden, which among them was that the university offers a professional portfolio course which will help me document my image in the profession, and communicate my achievements to the professional community as I seek to find better opportunities after completion of MSN (Walden University, n.d.). Lastly, my concern is how do I improve my writing skills in relation to the many papers that await me? But it is my hope that through Walden’s writing center I will learn, understand and develop scholarly skills that will help in my academic, civic and global engagement writings (“Writing Center,” 2020) NRSE / NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions.

    This journey gives me some jitters, but am confident to pursue and complete my course, working closely with my network members and importantly by engaging the professors where need be, and therefore hope for better opportunities in future.

    response

    I understand the sleepless nights all too well.  About two days before the start of the MSN program, I have not been able to have a full night’s rest yet.  I am constantly thinking about what else needs to be done, if am I completing the assignments correctly, will I be able to find a preceptor for clinical, and will I have time to get the required clinical hours completed?  I did register and watch the Walden University webinar on the 
    APA 7 at a Glance: Changes and Support for the Switch 
    last evening. I have found many resources within the Walden University Writing Center that will assist with future assignments. Under the Revision section of the Writing Center, it mentions that “the majority of time is spent rewriting, reorganizing, and rewording the first draft” (para. 2). With that in mind, it will be imperative to make sure enough time is allotted before any assignment is due.

    I also have some concerns about balancing work, family, and now online schooling.  I did obtain my bachelor’s degree online five years ago, but I have different concerns with this master’s program.  It appears that time is less on my side, so I will have to continue to find ways to assist with my success. Kauffman (2014), mentions that the success for online students is managed by the recognition of “self-awareness of needs, adequate management of feelings, self-discipline, time management, organization, planning, and self-evaluating” (p. 7).  I do feel that I poses many of these skills to become a successful student, but I will have to continue to reach within myself to bring these qualities forward.

    Response 2

                Reading through all of these posts, it seems concerns with writing skills are amongst the most popular.  Writing is truly an acquired skill that takes time to refine.  Hopefully, the more we read, write, research, and participate in discussion posts our writing skills will improve.  Walden University has a great writing center with an adequate amount of resources to help us improve our writing skills and produce noteworthy material.  There are also multiple online editing tools to help correct grammar, punctuation, and APA formatting.  I recently discovered Grammarly and PERRLA.  During my first week in my first discussion post, I felt like I took entirely too long to write a discussion post, approximately two hours.  This week I feel my writing skills are coming to be faster and easier, hopefully, with more practice this trend will continue.

    Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions

    In Module 1, you began building a foundation for your success by considering a network-individuals and teams who can help you to clarify and execute on the vision. A network is most helpful when you are comfortable asking questions. Chances are other members of your network have experienced similar questions and may have helped guide others toward resolutions that can now be helpful.

    In this Discussion, focus on the questions you are ready to ask as your journey begins. Keep in mind that sharing questions is often a great way to help others who have similar questions even if they do not realize it!

    The Questions and concern I have about my MSN Online Program
     

    I have heard some positive and negative comments regarding earning a degree through an online program, and I think that because the negative comments were targeted at making an online degree less credible than one obtained through the traditional methods, it made me almost not apply to attend Walden University. According to Kauffman (2015), research shows that there is no difference between the online and traditional methods of learning. With this in mind, my first question is:

    Do you feel that you would be more successful if you were completing the MSN program using the traditional method of learning rather than online?

    Another concern I have is self-motivation. Being in the comfort of one’s home, I believe, can be a blessing but could also cause some hindrance in pacing one’s self with distractions such as television and family around us NRSE / NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions. Research also shows that one’s gender, race, and learning abilities are factors that contribute to one’s success as an online student (Nguyen, 2015). My next question is:

    How do you intend to motivate yourself throughout this program?

    One concern I believe all of us share is job availability; will there be a spot for me after I graduate? Some states allow nurse practitioners to practice independently and grant them the full scope of practice while others do not. According to Xue, Ye, Brewer, and Spetz (2016), removing restrictions on nurse practitioners’ scope of practice by states can be beneficial in increasing care capacity in rural and vulnerable populations. This leads to my last question:

    What have you found regarding the job market for nurse practitioners and your state practice capacity or scope of practice? NRSE / NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions

    response

    I have also heard a lot of negatives and positives concerning online education.  According to (Kauffman, n.d.) negative perceptions can lead to unfavorable learning outcomes including decreased motivation and persistence.  The nurse practitioner curriculum is self-taught, therefore, requiring motivation and discipline NRSE / NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions.  In my opinion, these two characteristics speak volumes and show that online education is as valid as traditional education.

    As far as motivation, I know I will not always be motivated to do homework or study but, I must remain disciplined so that I may reach my goal.  This thought process is something I am trying to instill into my everyday life. One study shows that online students had greater self-efficacy ratings for online courses compared to face-to-face courses, indicating that they felt more capable of success in online courses (Stark, 2019).  There may be hope for us if this is true.

    For now, following a strict schedule and setting time frames for homework is a start.

    I am very concerned about job availability.  NRSE / NURS-6003 week 2 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions My area is flooded with nurse practitioners, and a majority are dual-certified.  I find this very competitive and worrisome.  According to (Pando, 2017) a majority agreed of nurse practitioners agreed their roles should be expanded, but they stated several obstacles, such as state laws, reimbursement rates, and patient perceptions.  Breaking or modifying some of these obstacles can produce higher demand for nurse practitioners and increase employment.

    Networking is one way I can think of to obtain a job after graduation.  I also spoke to a close friend of mine who is a new nurse practitioner, it took her a few months to obtain a job.  According to her and her experience with employers, they were much more interested in your experience rather than the university you attended.  On my pathway to obtaining my degree, I plan on obtaining more critical care experience, especially in the areas I lack confidence and I plan to continue networking.
