VANDA VANBIBBER

Diligent, compassionate, and dedicated recently certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with hands-on experience in assessing, diagnosing, and treating individuals with mental health challenges across the lifespan. As a recent graduate, I bring a contemporary understanding of evidence-based practices and a commitment to delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.

During my initial months of practice, I have developed proficiency in conducting thorough psychiatric evaluations, formulating treatment plans, and implementing therapeutic interventions. My brief but intensive experience has allowed me to gain valuable insights into the complexities of mental health care delivery, and I am eager to continue learning and refining my skills.

As an RN, my philosophy has always been rooted in the belief that each individual is a person who deserves the best care, no matter what their circumstance. I have been committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive, and person-centered care and advocating for everyone to be treated with dignity, respect, and empathy, regardless of their mental health disorders. As I transition into the provider role as a PMHNP, I will continue my passion and work as my scope broadens.

Becoming a PMHNP is more than just a job; it is a genuine calling that resonates with my heart and soul. It is about cultivating a safe and non-judgmental space where people can share their thoughts and feelings and work collaboratively to create a holistic and effective treatment plan that manages their needs. It is about advocating for mental health awareness, eradicating the stigma, and paving the way for a society prioritizing mental well-being as much as physical health.

Continual learning is the foundation of my philosophy. Medicine constantly evolves, and I have always been dedicated to evidence-based practice, which is integral to providing safe and effective care.

Every person has a unique journey and story; I want to walk with them and their loved ones as this affects not just the person suffering from the disease but also those who love them and be a beacon of hope for their future. I want to encourage and empower them and provide them with the tools they need to fight to the best of their ability to have the quality of life and voice they deserve.

Short-Term Goals

As I enter my new role as a PMHNP, my ultimate goal is to strengthen my ability to promote a safe and effective method for my patients by utilizing evidenced base practice and a collaborative approach. I will continue to learn and gain all I can from the experienced providers I work with and collaborate with. I want to escalate my therapeutic communication skills and create a supportive, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment. Being in a team-oriented, supportive, and unified setting as we work together to care for our community.

Long-Term Goals

I want to continue to grow my knowledge and skills by continuing my education and research. Increasing the knowledge of our communities to continue to destigmatize mental health disorders and bolster awareness and resources. I want to empower others who want to join us in caring for those suffering from mental health disorders by advocating and helping foster the next generation. I want to become a leader in the community and gain a reputation of trust. I want to help make changes to influence mental health policy at local, regional, or national levels, working to improve access to mental health services and care.
