The medical field has limitless knowledge whereby acquisition of one level of medical skill spills over to another level of study. The need to pursue Doctor of Nursing Practice in healthcare was built after I acquired my first degree in medical field with a specialization in the oncology field. I intend to acquire vast knowledge relating to research analysis and evidence-based practices within the healthcare systems to provide high quality medical care and leadership skills.
Having worked and enjoyed the roles while at Parkinson, the need to improve my medical knowledge propelled me to consider furthering my medial studies to the level of a FNP an abbreviation for Family Nursing Practitioner. Working in a one on one connection with the families at Parkinson made me develop a deeper desire to deal with families in my medical operations. As well, the unavailability of enough medical attendants in the medical field led me decide on becoming a medical professor in future. The objective I intend to attain as a professor would be to train more nurses to increase the number of medical attendants in hospitals, hence, making the administration of medical activities an easy task (Alber et al., 2009). As a professor in the FNP field, I aim at being a role model to the junior nurses and impact them with necessary knowledge of being compassionate when handling patients. This will contribute towards improving the health system reputation as well as that of the nurses.
One of the roles bestowed upon FNP specialist is medicine prescription. In several occasions, it has been recorded that nurses give wrong prescriptions due to ineffective skills they are equipped with while undergoing their training. The need to raise the standard on how medical prescriptions are done developed the interest in me to acquire higher medical knowledge to improve the accuracy in giving prescriptions. Additionally, graduating from medical field to teaching field will make me administer correct skills to the younger nurses on how such prescriptions are done, thus, improving the medical operations in general. Different diseases have been emerging while the old ones have been advancing making them more dominant to respond to treatments (Neal-boylan, 2006). The manner in which doses and prescriptions of medicine are administered to fight diseases need to change, thus, acquisition of higher knowledge will bring a significant improvement on the prescription crisis.
Interpretation of data from specimens collected by families is a key role that a FNP nurse caries out. Some remotely located regions makes it difficult for the families living in such regions to seek medical attentions since the medical facilities are located too far from their reach. Working with the FNP sector will make it able for the families to access effective medical attentions as the medical specialist attend to them from the comfort of their reach. Home based treatment on which the nurses’ caries a test on the specimens provided makes the identification and curation of diseases an easy task. Offering home based treatments will help in reaching out to many ailing families who lack the capabilities to travel to far distance in such of medical facilities (Pearlman, 2013).
Offering advices during critical medical complication to families is also a role FNP specialist pursues. Some patients have a different perception in undergoing certain medical processes. Some societies have cultural beliefs and traditions which does not support proper medical attentions yet cling much on their crude traditional treatments some of which are quite harmful when dealing with sensitive health issues. Working closely with families will make me handle such cases appropriately (Babine et al., 2016). Additionally, my role as a family nurse practitioner will enable me to work alongside physicians in hospitals or undertake my tasks independently to help diminish the various healthcare complexities arising.
