ATTENTION TO STUDYPOOL WRITER THIS IS ME SO YOU GET SOME IDEAS OF MY
INTRODUCTION
Mario Carralero I am in THIS MSN FOR THE ACUTE GERONTOLOGY CRITICAL
NURSE PRACTIONER, AGCNP
RE: Discussion – Week 1
COLLAPSE
Hi, again my name is Mario Carralero I have been married for 19 years, I have a 9 years old daughter, and a
teen 17 years old boy. I have been a Registered Nurse for ten years and achieved my Bachelor degree five
years ago. Even-though for many nurses ten years may seem as a regular average time of working experience
in their lives, for me ten years is an invaluable time. Sometimes we used to say, ” the time flies away” and we
do not appreciate it. However, in my case I feel blessed because those ten years transformed me in a better
person as a whole, professionally, and sociologically. I had the amazing opportunity of working in all bed side
care areas and learn all different nursing skills. I did worked in Med-surge, Telemetry, and ICU. I have worked
in the float pool of ICU going to all them MICU, SICU, CVICU, NSICU, and TICU settings wherever the need. At
present I still do some ICU, but I am working full time in the Intervention Radiology. I grew up exponentially
in my career, also it floating around allows me to create a great network throughout the hospital. I noticed my
devotion for critical patients.
Finally, last two weeks I decided to start at once my plan on going back school. My continue relationship with
nursing ICU has given me more insight into pursuing my MSN program in Acute Care Gerontology Advance
Practitioner nurse. One day in the morning I opened my emails at my hospital and I saw the education
department recommending to all nurses to complete their BSN and MSN programs at Walden University. I
did my own researched on best online program around that meet my expectation to achieve my goal. As I
further searched in the internet I saw again Walden University. I believe that Walden mission’s statement
aligned with my need to progress further. According to Walden, their mission is to “provide a diverse
community of career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioner so
that they can effect positive social change”( Walden University, 2019b.). Which defines my overall goal to
become a Practitioner who “provide life long, comprehensive care through disease management, health
education, and preventative health services” ( Nurse Journal, 2020, para. 2). Walden University for sure will
leave a positive impact not only to me as professional but also to my family since this MSN online program is a
perfect example of dedication and perseverance.
Incorporation of Social Change
As I become an Acute Practitioner Nurse, I will convey more effectively the patient care to all levels of our
society and different ethnic groups in collaboration with physicians. The communication between patient and
professional will be more transparent regarding patient condition. Walden University (2019b) defined
positive social changes as a”deliberate process of creating and applying ideas, strategies, and actions to
promote the worth dignity, and development of individuals, communities, organizations, institutions,
cultures, and societies” (para. 4). I will be ready to create bigger and better solutions mainly for the health
care industry. I see myself expanding my knowledge base here in Walden University, and hopefully improving
the health disparity of minorities. I will work on making possible to provide medical care to all sectors of our
community in needs of care. This aligns with Walden University’s view which is to promote a positive social
change in the improvement of human and social conditions ( Walden University, 2020b).

My Academic and Professional Network
Professional networks provide nursing practitioners that platforms to interact and
collaborate with experienced individuals and leverage the relationship for their career
advancement. Regarding the individual and teams in the academic network, they constitute the
support system that is needed to identify and participate in the courses and training activities that
provide the skills to achieve the professional objectives. The roles and impacts that members of
the academic and professional networks have on the career growth that would result from the
successful completion of the MSN program informed my decision to select the individuals in my
network. Therefore, the individuals in my professional and academic networks are expected to
provide the guidance and support that are critical to identifying the relevant courses that would
equip me with the skills and knowledge to become an AG-ACNP, leverage the opportunities for
research and educational development, and achieve my personal and career objectives.
NETWORK MEMBER 1
Name: : Elizabeth Berry
Title: , RN,BSN, MSN/MBA
Organization: Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami Florida
Academic or Professional: Professional
Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success
in the MSN program and as a practicing nurse:
Notes: Ms. Berry is a highly experienced nurse manager who has demonstrated her managerial
and leadership capabilities in various nursing roles and administrative responsibilities. As an
aspiring clinical nursing executive, I strongly consider Ms. Berry’s guidance and mentorship in
various healthcare management areas as highly valuable to my goal of accomplishing my
professional and leadership objectives. Also, I consider her experience with how graduates of the
MSN program can leverage their qualifications for career advancement would believe in identify
and participate in courses and other learning activities that would help me acquire the relevant
skills to leverage the opportunities in my specialty. Therefore, I regard Ms. Berry’s guidance as
vital to my desire to enable me to achieve the right professional development from this course.
NETWORK MEMBER 2
Name: Melanie Sierra
Title: DNP, ARNP, AGACNP-BC, CCRN
Organization: Jackson Memorial Hospital
Academic or Professional: Professional
Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success
in the MSN program and as a practicing nurse:
Notes:
Ms. Sierras career in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit as an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care
Nurse practitioner (AG-ACNP) that spans over four years and combined with nine-year
experience in critical care nursing makes her the right mentor to guide my professional
endeavors in this specialty. Also, I believe mentorship will afford me the chance to align my
learning and training during this MSN program with the expectations and requirements for
becoming a licensed AG-ACNP. As a nurse leader and educator in this nursing specialty, I
strongly regard her tutelage and collaborations with the field as part of the tools that I need to
become one of the leading AG-ACNP in my organization and region. Therefore, Ms. Sierra has
the experience, knowledge, and connection to assist me to create a valuable professional support
system and leverage the capabilities of the individuals to accomplish my career aspirations.
NETWORK MEMBER 3
Name: Dr. Jennifer Stone
Title: Practicum Coordinator
Organization: Walden University
Academic or Professional: Academic
Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success
in the MSN program and as a practicing nurse:
Notes:
Dr. is the practicum coordinator for the MSN-AGACNP and member of the Academic Team
who possesses the experience that would enable me to deal with any potential academic
challenges that I might occur during the program. Also, I believe that she would be valuable to
my desire to select courses that are designed to help acquire the relevant skills for achieving my
professional objectives. In other words, Dr. Stone is part of my academic network because she is
a practicing nurse practitioner with the experience and competence to guide my academics
during this program and contribute to its successful completion in several ways.
NETWORK MEMBER 4
Name: Dr. Pyllis Morgan
Title: Coordinator
Organization: Walden University
Academic or Professional: Academic
Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success
in the MSN program and as a practicing nurse:
Notes:
Dr. Morgan s selected as a member of my academic network because of her depth of
experience in supporting MSN students to meet the competing demands for their resources
by their career aspirations, personal and family responsibilities, and academic activities.
Also, she has worked with several students on the approaches for managing the stress and
anxieties that result from their pursuit of an MSN degree and willing to share her successful
coping strategies with students. As a full-time nursing practitioner and mother to kids, I
believe that my domestic and work responsibilities might clash in ways that could impact my
academic performance. As a result, I believe that the guidance that Dr. Morgan would
provide on the methods for coping with stress and the effective management of my schedule
would enable me to enjoy academic success. Hence, she is part of the support system that I
need to attain my goals and objectives for joining this program.
ADDITIONAL NETWORK MEMBERS
Conclusion
In conclusion, the individuals in academic and professional networks are those that I
believe possess the experience to mentor and connect me to various research, educational, and
career opportunities during and after my MSN program. While Dr. Morgan and Dr. Stone are a
staff of Walden University who can provide the relevant guidance and support for all my
academic endeavors, Ms. Berry and Ms. Sierra is practicing nursing practitioners in the field
whose mentoring would have huge impacts on the successful completion of my MSN program.
Therefore, I look forward to working with them during and after this program.
