How do you work with clients with depression?

I am LaMonica, an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. I was born and raised in Mississippi, and I graduated from Gentry High School. In 2009, I received my Practical Nursing Certification at Coahoma Community College. Continuing my education, I earned my Associates Degree in Nursing from Hinds Community College in 2012. Advancing further, I completed a Master’s Degree of Science in Nursing in 2015 at Walden University. Throughout my entire nursing career, my primary focus has been in Family Medicine. I began my career in a local Health Center, initially working as a staff nurse. As a Registered Nurse, I ventured into the field as a home health nurse and then transitioned to become the owner of an allied health school that trained CNAs, MAs, Phlebotomists, and Pharmacy Techs. After completing my master’s program, I opened my independent practice as a Nurse Practitioner before deciding to attend Medical School three years later. Currently, I am a fourth-year medical student at Washington University of Health and Science. Simultaneously, I am completing a third Master’s for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Wilkes University, which will be completed in April 2024. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my family and cuddling up with a good movie.

As an experienced Registered Nurse, I've dedicated my career to treating and caring for patients with various medical, surgical, and neurological conditions. With hands-on experience in hospitals across the country, I excel in delivering compassionate and professional care to all my patients. I have a strong background in patient education, helping individuals and their families understand treatment plans and postoperative care to enhance recovery outcomes. My approach is always team-oriented, collaborating closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible care. Whether working within a bustling hospital environment or training new nurses, my focus remains on maintaining high standards of patient care. I am proficient in using the latest medical record systems and have a keen eye for detail, ensuring accurate and timely documentation. Patients appreciate my empathetic nature and commitment to their well-being. I look forward to continuing my journey of making a positive impact on the lives of those I care for.
