New graduate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner eager to grow.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and passionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a strong foundation in mental health care. Having completed 504 practicum hours during my clinical rotations, I have engaged with diverse populations, including adults, geriatrics, children, and adolescents. My experience encompasses assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental illnesses, where I utilized both nonpharmacological and pharmacological methods to manage care effectively. I pride myself on building strong relationships with patients and their families, ensuring high customer satisfaction and compassionate care.
My background as a Nurse Practitioner has equipped me with extensive skills in admissions, discharges, differential diagnoses, and writing SOAP notes. I have experience in telemedicine and have developed a robust understanding of general nursing procedures, including advanced cardiac life support and hemodynamic monitoring. I am committed to continuous professional growth and am eager to contribute my skills to a dynamic healthcare team.
