Professional and Personal Goals I have always been goal oriented – both professionally and personally. My current professional goals include improving the identification and treatment of immune related adverse effects for patients receiving immunotherapy for the treatment of a variety of different cancers, the creation of a formal orientation and education program for clinical trials staff, the creation of a mentoring program for nursing staff, and obtaining my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). Past professional goals have included the development of a system wide web-based performance improvement portal and the establishment of an End of Life Nursing Education Curriculum (ELNEC) education program for nurses at a two hospital based system. The Performance Improvement Portal allows staff nurses collecting quality data such as nosocomial wounds, pain, etc. to input their information and have immediate analyzed results available to make any necessary changes to improve care for the patient. I was invited to attend and present at a past ANCC Magnet conference regarding the performance improvement portal. The intention of the ELNEC program was to have nurses in oncology, critical care, and telemetry attend the program. I underwent education to become an ELNEC instructor and brought the course back to Capital Health. For both past and present professional goals it important for me to develop programs that are meaningful and sustainable. Both the Performance Improvement Portal
In the near future, I will graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree from East Carolina University. Guiding my ultimate nursing goals is my love for children. As a mother already, I have learned and immensely enjoyed my journey with my six-year-old child thus far. However, I would love to expand my knowledge on the unique needs of the pediatric patient population. The pediatric patient population is very diverse, due to the various stages of life within this populace. In the near future, I hope to expand my understanding and experience with pediatric patients through becoming a registered nurse on a pediatric nursing unit within a hospital. However within ten years, my goal is to become a school nurse. This being said, there is an extensive field of knowledge and training I will need to gain in order to achieve my ultimate nursing goal of serving all children in their medical and developmental needs.
My short-term goals are to gain acceptance into Nurse Practitioner school and commit to clinical and academic excellence throughout my education. I plan to immerse myself in my professional development and to continue improvement of my advanced practice role. My long-term goal is to oversee stroke patients in an acute care facility and be actively involved in their care as they move to rehabilitation services and eventually recovery. I plan to use my knowledge of critical care and family practices to develop a holistic plan of care for patients, which will involve treating both their acute and chronic

In one year I see myself attending Grand Valley State University, studying nursing. I will be working on my prerequisites on their Allendale Campus.
The first goal that I had in preparation for this research course was to learn as much as I possibly could! I feel that I have reached this goal and then some! I definitely have a greater understanding of the different types of research studies that are done quantitative versus qualitative, what the Institutional Review Board (IRB) stands for. That only names a few of the important topics on research that I have learned while learning in this course. All of which have helped help me gain a better understanding of the process to conduct nursing research. One of the important pieces that I learned was gaining a better understanding of the process that is established to ensure the right documents are submitted and followed through. These are all important pieces that are set up to guarantee the information that is collected from the patients stays confidential (different than HIPPA). Additionally, I wanted to learn the whys behind why we do research. I feel after the weekly discussions as well as the different articles that we had to research I met this goal as well, but definitely will continue to investigate and continue to ask questions and ensure that we are using evidence based practice concepts to support our research practices. Nursing research “encourages all levels of nursing personnel to find answers to clinical questions and incorporate the findings into clinical practice (p43 article) My third and final goal was to
I would imagine that all of us in this MS(N) program, are experiencing a great deal of change both professionally and personally as we embark on pursuing higher education. “Developing career goals is one of the most important activities that an individual can do to enhance professional development and ensure upward mobility in the nursing profession” (Pullen, 2011, p. 5). Goals give us something to look forward to, work for, improve and change, as necessary (Quinn-Szcesuil, 2015). My first assignment at WCU’s BSN program was to develop a list of professional goals that I aspired to and my very last assignment of the BSN program was quite similar as I revisited my original set of goals, revised and updated as necessary. The fact I am revisiting this same topic, proves the importance of goal setting.
peacefully away in her mother’s arm. During her passing, I shed tears of grief and joy with her parents. Greif for the loss of an innocent soul and joy that this mother got one last opportunity to hold her child in her loving arms. Even if was only to whisper a soft good-bye.
The theory is explained on the idea that the increased comfort of a patient or their family, the more they are ready to accept and react to the treatment plan. The theory can also be applied to the nursing profession in the sense that
Registered nurses work alongside physicians providing patient care in a variety of ways. A few examples of what nurses are responsible for include: administering medications, tracking patient’s vital signs, helping to diagnose and properly treat patient aliments and educating the patient and their family on their condition and the course of treatment. Depending on what area of medicine a nurse works in will determine more generalized and specific duties and responsibilities. There are many different areas a nurse may work in. Some areas include: obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, emergency room, and many more. Nurses can work in a variety of settings, these can include: hospitals, urgent cares, doctors office, nursing homes and home health.
1. My first goal that I would like to see personal growth on as a nurse is with my communication skills when talking to a patient. I would like to have a caring and helpful relationship with my patient. I want to improve my verbal and nonverbal communication skills so that I appear as if I know what I am taking about, and that I ensure that my facial expressions and body posture are appropriate for the situation.
My three goals for this course are as follows: to better understand the current legal and ethical climate of health care and specifically nursing, to be aware of that climate as I enter clinical, and to understand how I as a nurse can work to make the system more ethical. I chose these three goals, because they provide me with the opportunity to first learn about the current legal and ethical climate of nursing from an academic standpoint while examining how that knowledge translates to what I’m experiencing in clinical. My last goal is reflection-focused, and will allow me to take 5101 course content with me as I move forward as a professional nurse. I plan to accomplish these goals by being present in class preparation, lecture, and seminar,
I've very adaptive to new technology such as programs used for online documentation and electronic MARS. Other registered staff in my unit often comes to me for problem solving and troubleshooting with our online documentation program. I always put my patients first and I take the time to listen to my patients & families, no matter how busy my schedule may be. I work well under pressure and in a solo or team environment. I strive to become more knowledgeable in nursing in order to provide the best care I can to my clients In order to excel at my profession and passion I need to do everything I can to make myself better. As part of that, I did not stop with Bachelors, I did my masters, then I did Medical-surgical certification & I am also certified preceptor, have certification from UCF. My upbringing developed my core beliefs of community, family, loyalty, compassion and honesty. It also taught me that all things worthwhile require hard work. I love being a nurse, but recognize my yearning for more. I love nursing and have enjoyed my time as a floor nurse although my work experiences are acutely based, I have observed the direct relation between primary and acute care. As a nurse primarily working with patients, I have observed how patient miseducation, miscommunication, and
My mother battled mental illness during her life. Unfortunately she lost her battle in September 2013. Since her surprising death I have soul-searched and researched ways to help others like my mother.That introspection has brought me to your program, Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling.
I am a nursing student. I have a great passion for caring for others. My short term goals are to graduate Riverland Community College with my Associate's Degree in Nursing this December. I plan to work very hard and prepare to take my nursing licensure exam at the beginning of next year to become licensed as a registered nurse. I will then transfer to Metropolitan State University to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.
Becoming a nurse has always been an aspiration of mine, I’ve always wanted a job that uses my caring nature and becoming a nurse seems like the perfect fit. Any job can be rewarding but working in the medical field where you can help save lives, make differences and be supportive at a person’s time of need is at the top of my list when I think of a rewarding career. I am choosing this course because I love learning new things and with a nursing career no day will be the same as the day before, so you will constantly be learning new skills, plus there are many different areas of nursing that you can go in to, so this will enable me to put my skills that I already have in to use but also learn completely new things.
