There are so many nursing specialties that spark my interest, it was difficult to narrow it down and commit to only one. While I really enjoyed working in surgery, my calling and passion have always resonated more with mental health. Family and life experiences have helped equip me to serve others with mental health needs. When it came time to pick a specialty for the MSN program, I had a long debate over public health and mental health specialties. I have really enjoyed working in an outpatient mental health clinic serving a vulnerable population. This is where my crossroads was revealed. After researching and networking, I realized I could use a PMHNP (psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner) degree to serve the public health population. There is a growing demand for mental health and addiction services in vulnerable populations. The revelation that I could do both, confirmed my original desire to pursue an advanced nursing degree in mental health. 

           Obtaining a Master’s Degree will allow me to have a more profound impact on the vulnerable population that I already serve. Master’s level prepared nurses have the ability to identify, apply, and explain why evidence-based standards of practice are important while being involved in the evolution of nursing practice (Laureate Education, 2018). It was difficult to choose between an MSN degree in public health or mental health. Researching the Walden University website to obtain as much information as I could to compare the curriculum and career impact for each option helped clarify which avenue aligns most with my professional mission and vision. The various specialties offered for MSN degrees are very well-defined on Walden’s website with enough information to visualize the future academic and career paths that each program offers (Walden University, 2020). After reviewing the information on the website, I felt confident in my decision to pursue the PMHNP specialty.   

There are many professional organizations available that cater specifically to nurses and mental health professionals. I explored a list geared toward the PMHNP profession on the Vanderbilt School of Nursing (n.d.) site and narrowed it down to one that seemed to best fit my professional goals and vision. While I was very interested in the Foundations of Addiction Nursing (FAN), I found that the organization was too specific to align with my overall career goals. I ultimately decided that the International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses (ISPN) would better serve a comprehensive career in mental health. The ISPN website clearly states its mission to promote mental health and support mental health advanced practice nurses. This site provides boundless resources for advanced-practice mental health nurses and students (ISPN, n.d.). Student memberships are available for $35 and include full member benefits, including voting, holding office, and submitting abstracts. Students are required to be enrolled in a graduate program for psychiatric-mental health advanced practice nursing, fill out a membership form, and pay the dues for membership (ISPN, n.d.). I am looking forward to exploring all this organization has to offe(

Discussion: Big Data Risks and Rewards

When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.

From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.

As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.
• Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.

By Day 3 of Week 5

Post a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.

 After analyzing your results, write a five-paragraph essay explaining what procrastination is and how it affects one’s life. Your essay must also propose solutions to avoid procrastination to improve your academic performance. You must include your Net Tutor report in order to get a full credit.  

The purpose of this assignment is to draft and submit a comprehensive and complete rough draft of your medication paper in APA format. Your rough draft should include all of the research paper elements of a final draft.

Recommended: Before you begin, review the Writing Resources area of the Student Resources tab located in the top menu on your main Blackboard page.

Include the following in your rough draft:

• Title page
• Abstract
• Introduction
• Headings
• Conclusion
• Reference page with a minimum of 5 references and appropriately used in-text citations for each
• Visuals: tables, figures, graphs, charts, images, or any other non-text content. (if applicable)

• Footnotes (if applicable)
• Appendices (if applicable)

 The abstract is a well-formulated summary of the paper that includes the following components: clear introductory sentence(s) with supporting evidence that guides the reader to the medication’s significance. It is succinct yet thorough, well written, and organized. 

 Clearly states the medication chosen and describes the medication’s uses. Clearly states the purpose of researching the chosen medication and indicates the main points to be covered. 

 The body includes all of the required content components: •Manufacturing company •Brand name •Indication •First in class or not first in class •Common side-effects profile •Known contradictions A critical analysis of the medication and the diseases/disorders it treats is presented. All special considerations are addressed (i.e., pediatric patients, geriatric patients, patients with renal dysfunction, patients with liver dysfunction, obese patients, and pregnancy/lactation). Ideas are professionally sound; they are supported by scientific evidence that is credible and timely.

Stakeholder support is necessary for a successful project implementation. Consider your internal stakeholders, such as the facility, unit, or health care setting where the change proposal is being considered, and your external stakeholders, like an individual or group outside the health care setting. Why is their support necessary to the success of your change proposal, and how you will go about securing that support?

Public health laws and regulations are often passed in response to human-caused or natural disasters or the spread of an infectious disease or other health epidemic. Select a law or regulation that was passed after a significant public health event or in response to an epidemic. In a 1,250-1,500 word paper, discuss the public health law or regulation and describe its impact on a community, including its ethical implications. Examples could include laws/regulations targeting smoking, obesity, healthy mothers and babies, vaccinations, etc. Include the following:

Introduction with an overview of the law/regulation, why it was passed, and how it was or is being implemented on the local, state, and/or federal level.

2. An evaluation of the efficacy of the law/regulation. Include evidence demonstrating whether it is or is not working.
3. A discussion of the law/regulation’s ethical implications-Do you think this law is fair and ethical in natural? It is being applied ethically/fairly? Were/are there any unforeseen/unintended consequences to be considered?
