Before we move forward with our blogging relationship, I think I should tell you a little more about me. Now I am not very good with talking about myself but here it goes! I hope from reading a brief version of my story you can fully understand my love not only for nursing but psychiatric nursing.
“I can do all things through God who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13. From a young child, my family always instilled in me the qualities of kindness and perseverance. They encouraged me to dream big and reach for the stars. As I grew older I realized that not only did I want to become the best person I could be, I also wanted to help others reach their full potential. My mother worked in the field of health care and she showed me the importance of persevering in the times of storms and also showing kindness to others.
In 2008, I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the Medical College of Ga. I gained much of my experience working on medical surgical, trauma and telemetry units. I even tried my hand in plasma donation. Finally, I was offered a position at a state psychiatric hospital in Augusta, Ga. I had the opportunity to work on both the forensics and admissions units. Psychiatric nursing grabbed my heart.
While working at the state psychiatric hospital, I was able to use many of my skills and training to assist individuals in reaching their full potential. I also witnessed firsthand disparities that this population suffered from. Individuals are rehabilitated within the hospital, only to return in less than 30 days. It is a “revolving door” effect. Individuals and their families are in pain and turmoil because they cannot understand what is happening and why.
I began to research and ask questions. Individuals often have difficulty attending follow up appointments in the community after discharge. Research shows that community involvement and attending these appointments plays a major role in treating symptoms and decreasing readmission rates in patients. Why are individuals not attending? Issues with living in rural areas and transportation is at the top of the list. Waiting in long lines for hours to be seen by the psychiatrist or health care clinician is next. The inability to develop a personal rapport with health care clinicians is documented as well. The list goes on and on. Global Mentality Inc, is a nursing innovation that will provide for individuals and clinicians.
I am also a full time student, enrolled in the Doctorate of Nursing Practice program- Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Augusta University. I am a mother of three beautiful daughters whom I adore. I hope to instill in them the principles and values that were introduced to me as a young child by my family.
Thank you for your support!
