Education and the professional background: I amOluseun Akintunlaji, and I currently reside in Dallas, Texas. I have three boys. I was born and bred in Nigeria where I have obtained a BSC degree in Metallurgical and material engineering from the Federal University of Technology College. In the year 2008, I have migrated to US where I have taken my first job which was working with the physically challenged people. This job was the main reason that was developed a passion among me regarding nursing. Among different professions, nursing is one of the most rewarding professions (Manojlovich & Ketefian, 2016). Nurses are the most trusted healthcare professionals, and they are with the patients throughout their journey to get a natural and faster cure from various diseases (Cho & Kim, 2014). For a patient, nurses are the teacher, advocates, critical thinker as well as innovator. For this reason, the nursing profession had created a love among me (Tanakaet al. 2016). After identifying my passion for nursing, I have enrolled myself in a great nursing school where I have obtained BSN at Felician University, New Jersey. Currently, I am working as one psychiatric nurse as well as correctional health nurse. Now, I have a psychiatric mental health nursing certificates. Moreover, I have planned to get a certification on the certified addiction registered nurse. I know about correctional behavioral health, continence care, critical care and correctional health.

My professional goal is to become a successful psychiatric mental health nurse. By considering the vision and mission statement of the university regarding the course, I can say that the new course could help me in transforming the mental health of the patient. This specialization can help me in treating some mental disorders that are ranging from anxiety to schizophrenia. This goal is helpful for me in diagnosing the disorders of the patients and developing a better care plan for the patient. As a professional, I want to serve the patient with mental illness so that the patient can get a faster recovery of their mental health. Course outcome: During the course, the most challenging thing for me is the learning environment which is entirely new to me. Though this course, I can improve my theoretical as well as practical knowledge to offer better mental healthcare related care to the patients. Moreover, the course is also helpful for me in developing the ability of mine in planning and managing time so that I can be involved in providing care to patients with more efficiency. There are different areas in which I needed an active growth. I was not included in the study for a longer time as well as the APA style of writing is new to me. Therefore, the courses offered by Weldon University can help me in improving this skill. For enhancing the knowledge regarding American psychological association writing ability, I have planned to access and read different types of webinars that the Weldon University offered. Moreover, by taking help from the tutors of Weldon University, I can improve the knowledge.
