Health related positive social change: Increasing access to mental health to rural communities.
My plan is to further my nursing education and become a mental health nurse practitioner. I would like to practice in the community setting. I currently reside in East Texas and access to mental health is slim to none.

The social change agent that I identify the most with is the ultracomitted change maker. To take part of positive social change is vital to my life. I have been a nurse for 19 years. To have hands on, active engagement in improving the community lives is personal to me. I have been part of the emergency response team for the state of Florida.

I have also volunteer for many disasters such as hurricanes. I am equally passion about animal rescue organizations.
Thus, I want to increase my knowledge to have a bigger impact in patients lives and to improve the community by providing mental health to patients who have no access.

Advocating for social change is the responsibility of the nursing professional.
According to the article written by Fowler, 2015, nurses have entered into a social contract with society to improve health care to all. Thus, advocating for social change is viewed as the duties of nurses in order to fulfill their part of the agreement.

Society contracts with nursing to provide health care, and nursing contracts with society to set its own standard of practice and education. Part of the healthcare that nurses are obligated to provide to society, includes the changes necessary to meet the need of people in order to provide quality health care to all.
