As a child from a struggling family in the western part of Africa, and a first-generation high school graduate, it has always been a challenge to get a good education. Engaging on petty jobs to raise money for college as a teenager, getting married to an active duty military (US Army) man and eventually having to move overseas which is so far away from home; being a mother of three kids, dealing with deployment and having to raise kids basically by myself while in college; moving from one place to another with my husband for his Military assignments; have all affected my educational journey in a great way. The more challenging it is to reach my goal, the more motivated I am to acquire the potentials that will enable me to go even higher for a better and professional outcome in my career.

According to Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (2015), “A change in providing care through assessment, clinical ways, and behavioral interventions, promotes quality patient care”. With Advance nursing practice around the health care system, patient-centered care is safer, more effective, and most desirable evidence-based practice.

During my shopping at a mall sometime, I met a former patient I took care of during my clinical rotation. She walked towards me and said, and I quote, “You shined a ray of light in my darkness, I thought I wanted to die, there was no reason to live anymore, but you came and took all that negative burden away, and made me believe in myself and my potentials again”. It was an emotional moment for me, but I managed to be strong throughout that meeting. Those words made me feel like a professional advocate who will always be there for a patient, and that moment was one of the reasons I decided to pursue a degree in advanced nursing practice in psychiatry.
