Vision, mission, goals, social change and my professional goals.After being a Medsurge
nurse for over six years I felt the need to get into a specialty that will enable me to reach out
and meet the healthcare needs of a particular population in the community. My academic
and professional goal is to be an advanced mental health practicing nurse. Since I work full
time, I decided to look for a university where I could advance my degree completely
online.So last year as I shopped around for colleges that offered Mental Health Nurse
Practitioner program a friend of mine suggested Walden. When I read Walden’s mission,
vision and goals, they resonated with what I was looking for. Walden University (2018)
stated its vision and mission being to have a learning environment that provides diverse
community of career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as
scholar-practitioners so that they can effect positive social change (para.3). One of my goals
as an advanced nurse practitioner is to be able to work in a venerable community with little
access to healthcare resources so as to have an impact. So I am hoping that Walden will
provide me that opportunity to graduate with the knowledge and skills I need.My goals and
Walden MSN program outcomeTwo of the college of Nursing MSN learning outcomes stood
out to me as I read through all seven outcomes. The program goal is that at the end
graduates Will be able to “Integratively assess, diagnose, plan, implement, and evaluate
cost-effective healthcare strategies that reduce health disparities by patient/population
advocacy for access to specialist nursing care. Also be able to exhibit ongoing commitment
to professional development and value of nursing theories/ethical principles (altruism,
autonomy, human dignity, integrity, social justice) in accordance with ethically responsible,
legally accountable, specialist nursing practice (Walden University, 2020, para. 3and 6). I
hope to utilize the skills and knowledge I will acquire from Walden to provide quality care
and advocate for better mental health services for my patients, and make positive change
