Currently, I work I work in a rehabilitation facility in the sub-acute department.
I see myself opening a clinic in Haiti, which is my country of origin in the next decade.
As I reflect on what my plans for the next ten years, I take the opportunity to look back and analyze the experiences that have shaped my nursing career. Growing up in Haiti I was privileged to have had the chance to go to school which has made it possible for me to evolve in the nursing field. It is untrue to deny that there were challenges during the schooldays.
Indeed some challenges would test to the point of breaking me, but I appreciate the rough paths and the challenging moments have forged me to be active and competent and to gain success. I graduated with a First class in BSN. I have worked in so many different places: academic medical centers, hospitals, community-based organizations, urban slums. Community centers, prisons, and rural villages. My nursing experience has permitted me to visit many places and interact with many notable people. I admit that the nursing life requires courage because indeed we meet patients of all kinds and who need different types of attention.

One central necessity I’ve noticed is proper healthcare for expecting mothers, especially new moms to be without the means to afford a private physician. I plan on continuing my education, obtaining my masters with a focus on midwifery. I intend to open a clinic that will provide affordable care to young women, mothers to be and newborns.
I plan to extend the services to educate young women about safe sex and preventative measures. I am confident that within the ten years, my clinic will be a facility that will offer midwifery services to expectant mother s as well as providing them with proper education on safe sex and preventive measures. I don’t believe the in the manner in which the current systems and facilities in place are treating expectant and young mothers as well as their newborns. I, therefore, believe that with my clinic in existence, it will impact positively on the society and there are indeed people who will benefit.
This part explores the personal nursing philosophy I plan to communicate in my nursing career. I am confident the nature of nursing is pivoted on the desire to help those in need and the commitment to public service. Practitioners should view nursing as the provision of quality care individualized to each patient rather than merely treating illness. I believe nursing practice and care should honor patient values while being genuinely holistic.
My philosophy of nursing integrates relational, compassionate caring that respects the dignity of each patient and combines it with the knowledge of medicine and extends to my community in which health knowledge and promotion is something I will continually strive for. Moreover, healthcare professionals and practitioners should understand the need for collaborative efforts and interprofessional relationships. With this tool the professionals will be in a position to provide and promote quality patient care consequently, I make it my endeavor to communicate and consult adequately with colleagues across all fields within the nursing career.
I know myself to be a person who has forever had a yearning to care for those in need and the passion drove me to pursue a course in nursing. I believe many things have influenced my decisions and actions and no doubt the feeling of contentment and fulfillment when I serve and care for others, has influenced me the most. My nursing attitude is focused on compassion and service, and I am always willing to see myself attending to a patient. I was brought up in a family that accepted my decisions, and when I decided to pursue nursing, my family was a significant influence in ensuring my goals were achieved. The politics of our country further influenced my values and philosophy given that I believe proper healthcare and nursing, especially for the young expectant mothers, is an issue. Additionally, we have a history of nurses in our bloodline, and therefore I am not surprised that the nursing blood is flowing into me too. The economy provides a viable environment for the training and practicing of nurses, and furthermore, my family was financially stable and could support my nursing ambitions. I was therefore put in a suitable position to pursue my nursing career to success.
One challenge I have faced is the rehabilitation facility in the sub-acute department is how to handle the aging population. The number of the elderly who are frail continue on a rising pattern and having in mind that the aging have delicate health care needs I worry that I will be put in a position to handle more than one patient at a time. Pressure will pile considering that the elderly are to be provided with optimal care as desired by them. Given that people have diverse needs it will be a creative challenge to handle all the cases to the patient’s satisfaction. However, with the vast amount of knowledge I have gathered from school times to career time, I am confident I will be able to handle any pressure successfully and will be able to provide the healthcare needs of each patient accordingly. I am ready to consult and enquire from other healthcare professionals in situations I feel becomes difficult to handle alone. Moreover, I will always be up to date with nursing practices and standards to be sure of my decisions and actions.
My BSN Nursing education has dramatically influenced and altered the manner in which I view things. Initially, I thought nursing was merely about relieving a patient from their illness. However, I have come to learn that it is more than mere treatment. It involves attending to each patient as uniquely as they are focusing on ensuring they are provided with proper care that leaves them fully satisfied. I, therefore, believe that patients should be provided with compassionate care and act in a manner that respects the dignity of the patient. Moreover, I have had to learn that the nursing career is a race that is far from over in Haiti and therefore it is my responsibility as an educated nurse to impart my knowledge to the broadest population of Haiti and beyond. It is my endeavor that one time in history I will stand as one of the outstanding medical practitioners in Haiti who advocated for the development of services in the health care system particularly in the sector of care to expectant mothers, young women and their newborns.
