Accomplishments
I was honored to be the only nurse on my birthing suite floor chosen to attend the PSI Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders Certificate Training. This all-expenses-paid opportunity allowed me to deepen my expertise in maternal mental health. This training was invaluable, as it not only has prepared me to take the certification exam in the efuture but also empowered me to play a key role in a hospital-wide project. I'm now actively aiding in the implementation of enhanced mental health services for both expectant and current mothers, helping to ensure they receive the comprehensive care they deserve during such a critical time in their lives.
