Juanita Perkins, NP

Juanita Perkins, NP

Nurse Practitioner
NY
As an RN for over 21 years and a Family Nurse Practitioner for over 17 years, I have rich and varied experience. My clinical background includes inpatient and outpatient mental health, emergency medicine, primary care, and occupational health. I earned my Master's in Nursing from Pace University, which has further deepened my knowledge and skills. Nursing theory has driven my practice from the earliest part of my nursing career. I identify with and use Hildegard Peplau's Interpersonal Nursing Theory as part of my therapeutic intervention. This model sees the individual as a human being and allows for interaction between the nurse and the patient/client on a humanistic level. Peplau's theory extends to Sullivan's Interpersonal Theory, which sees the therapist as a participant observer. As a participant observer, the therapist develops an interpersonal relationship with the client. The nurse/therapist takes on several roles, including: Stranger: receiving the client the same way one meets a stranger in other life situations provides an accepting climate that builds trust. Teacher: who imparts knowledge about a need or interest. Resource Person: one who provides specific needed information that aids in the understanding of a problem or new situation. Counselor: helps to understand and integrate the meaning of current life circumstances and provides guidance and encouragement to make changes. Surrogate: helps to clarify domains of dependence, interdependence, and independence and acts on the client's behalf as an advocate. Leader: helps the client assume maximum responsibility for meeting treatment goals mutually satisfyingly. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Reality Theory are also utilized in my clinical practice. I understand that everyone in life is trying to get their basic needs met.
