Many of these patients have multiple co-morbidities. I enjoy working through each patient's issues, researching problems and appropriate treatments and working with the nurses to ensure a good outcome. High patient census which comes with covering multiple services at night. Also, the challenge comes when I have multiple admissions at the same time as an in-patient emergency, or when I have to treat more then one patient emergency at the same time.

Seeing patients in the clinic and in the hospital is very rewarding for me. I feel that I can utilize my skills as a Family Nurse Practitioner to educate and help prevent cardiovascular disease burdens. My experience as a critical care nurse has prepared me well for the acute and complex disease patterns that I encounter. Creating leverage for economic opportunities for current and future Nurse Practitioners is difficult, but must be forthcoming in order to advance the Nurse Practitioner role. Historically, Nurse Practitioners have been utilized in more clinical formats. However, the pendulum is swinging to incorporate Nurse Practitioners in an increasing procedural world. The continued struggle to prove one s self worth and competence is an enormous challenge and needs to be addressed on a continual basis. I am a calm natured person. I seek to understand the whole package instead of just one particular problem. I am driven in a way that seeks to find a customer driven process. One in which the patient takes charge their healthcare. I believe in self sufficiency. However, the self must be coached in a way that is meaningful and productive. o E:Mail: Jason.Jean@vanderbilt.edu o Cell:
