Advocacy
A DNP's primary function is translational; we are meant to interpret nursing evidence and determine how to implement it effectively. That means assessing healthcare systems, how they need to evolve, and how to do it. A DNP is also a clinical degree; we have full prescriptive authority and autonomy within our scope of practice in Washington. My specialty is psychiatry. I am interested in the intersection of mental health and chronic illness, and changing how people perceive death and the end of their lives. I feel passionate about addressing racism and social injustice in the healthcare system and advocating to ameliorate the underlying issues that support continued disparities. I want to address how systemic disenfranchisement generates and reinforces those conditions. This means policy advocacy and a willingness to influence both the voting public and legislative bodies on issues pertaining to scientific and medical literacy and how they manifest in our legal system.

Et cetera
To paraphrase Clifford Thurlow, a writer is someone who writes every day...
Not everything I have written is related to nursing or public health.
