I have a Bachelor’s of Arts in Biology from Agnes Scott College and a Master of Public Health from Morehouse School of Medicine. As a Biology major, my coursework allowed me to understand the study of life and how disturbances in the biological systems can influence one’s health. I loved this form of science but realized that managed care plays a greater role in the healthcare system.

I am writing this letter in regards to your full-time Legal Advocate position. I want to express my interest in your position. I am currently employed as a Residential Advocate with Casa Myrna’s Teen Parenting Program, or TPP.

With the use of advocacy as a nurse, we are also following the CNA Code of Ethics (2008) since it is apart of our practice standards (Yoder-Wise, 2015). A component of our nursing practice when advocating for our clients is health equity and social justice (CNA, 2008; Reutter & Kushner, 2010 as cited in Yoder-Wise, 2015).

Where I believe that community focus and patient advocacy intersect is when you actually get down to setting up a treatment plan. You must know your community and the people in it before you can begin to treat them. Language and knowledge barriers need to be considered to ensure that the patient gets the

The ethical concern in this case hung on two issues. First, the patient demonstrated a sufficient degree of dementia to ask “will the patient be able to adhere to instructions and hip precautions following surgery.” Additionally, given her degree of debility due to her non-ambulatory status before the injury “would it be in her best interests to proceed with the surgery?” As a team, the nurse, social worker, and I discussed these concerns with the orthopedic PA who agreed that perhaps the fracture should just be allowed to heal on its own instead of going forward with a costly, painful surgery and extended rehabilitation that may or may not produce the desired outcome. The PA, nurse, social worker, and I met with the orthopedic trauma surgeon and the head of orthopedics and presented the problem.
