DNPs, MSN







Welcome. Thank you for taking the time to visit my digital portfolio. This ePortfolio is a blueprint of my accomplishments in pursuit of my academic goal: the DNP.

As the song goes, "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."
John Lennon 1971


Since my childhood, I have always been a dream catcher. My parents and grandmother instilled in me that - through education you can reach your goals in life. Attaining my doctorate in nursing practice as a terminal degree is the realization of my scholarly objective.

I retired seven years ago after serving twenty-five-and-a-half years at a large organization as a nurse practitioner. However, I did not allow retirement to dissuade me from continuing my educational journey.

The DNP program of Texas Woman's University, faculty, clinical preceptors, classmates, and friends taught me the skills, helped me persist, and remain determined to acquire this degree. I have embraced the wealth of knowledge and leadership skills in navigating our complex health system through this program. Now that I am nearing my goal, I plan to continue sharing my knowledge and skills with the "young nurses" and I will continue to disseminate health promotion and prevention.
