With a new post- master's certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I am eager to apply my psychiatric assessment, psychiatric pharmacology, and therapeutic intervention skills to care for psychiatric patients across the lifespan. My strengths are treatment planning, discharge planning, and monitoring progress and treatment response, which will add value to any collaborative treatment team.
My Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree from East Carolina University, combined with training and experience, has provided me with a great foundation of knowledge and skills.
I have a resourceful approach to problem-solving and tackling challenges head-on, and I consider obstacles to be learning experiences. I'm a people person with high energy and a lot of ambition to succeed. I am accustomed to treating diverse patient needs while managing dynamic psychiatric conditions. I offer excellent clinical knowledge and judgment combined with strong documentation, vitals monitoring, and problem-solving abilities. I am well-versed in managing emergent cases with grace and efficiency.
