Goals

After I graduated with my bachelors’ degree in Nursing, I knew that was not the end of my education. I knew I wanted more knowledge because I wanted to be a master of my profession to be able to truly help my patients.

Many authors including, Pawlas and Oliva (2008) and Bennis and Nanus (1985) discuss the importance for the supervisors to spend much of their time listening to the views of others incising their students and incorporating these ideas into their thinking as a powerful tool for personal development. Moreover, on the job training, mentorship or continual education, are not always easy to access for the educator, my first-hand experience has been that this has been a valuable learning tool which has made me explore how I do what I do when supporting students in their clinical education. Given that my role is a long-term relationship, and that adults learners develop incrementally over time, a supervisor can assist in that change by working with students to establish meaningful long-term goals, working patiently on the

I am pleased to state that I have been a registered nurse for forty years. At this moment, I continue working in nursing while pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. My intended month of completion is October 2012. My experience in nursing education has motivated me to continue my education and pursue a Masters degree in a nursing related field commencing in 2013. Thus, in terms of my career planning, my education is a crucial part to my professional development. Extending and deepening one's education, especially within the career field of one's choice, can only bring upon additional professional opportunities as well as opportunities for personal growth. My career planning includes building upon my decades of experience in obstetrics, my particular area of specialty, expertise, and passion, with the assistance and addition of higher education. I believe in terms of career planning, my strengths include foresight, preparation, internal motivation, and focus.

The first obstacle had to face are my parent divorce. When this obstacle happened I was depressed and not do that good in school. My aunt had to take to with her friend that was an therapist I only went for one day, when it finish the therapy I realized that my life is not over just for a dilema. I was more relief and more ambitious to do all my work and pass all of my classes. The second obstacle is that I would struggle at school is turning in my work late when it was due the next day. Then, I had to overcome it by, making an agenda to keep my work on track and test to study for the agenda really helped me alot. My last dilemma is that I would work during school because me and my family depend on my dad sending money when sometime he wouldn't send us money. Me and my bigger sister would always try to find a job to help my mom to pay bills etc. Another obstacle is trying my best to have good grade and study in a correct way. I try to keep up my grade but sometimes it's hard. I sometimes

Setting goals is what drives people to growth and change within themselves. If one fails to dream and sets goals, it is unlikely the will grow or change (Scott, 2014). Allowing myself to set goals is a personal commitment and a drive to make change. Growing, educating and knowledge with time allows one to feel safe to dream and thrive to make better and larger goals. My first goal after obtaining my BSN in April 2017 is to work on myself and my family. In my career, my goal will be to work on my clinical ladder and seek ways to improve myself and my facility. There are many committees I would like to join and be a part of at work. I know I will have reached my goal when I have moved up several levels on the clinical ladder. My plans for professional development in the next three to 10 - 15 years will still be working at the bedside spreading my knowledge to others who are willing to learn. If financially I am able I would like to pursue my MSN. Being a leader is something that inspires me and I wish to be knowledgeable enough to help and teach others later in life. The final goal would be to not retire, but to cut down to part time and remain at the bedside. I would love to travel and volunteer my time to others in need of healthcare outside of the US. I will know I have reached this goal when I am at peace

Everyone in their life will face a barrier. A barrier is a challenge or obstacle that makes it difficult or prevents you from moving forward. Some examples of a barrier you would face would be a death in your family,drugs or alcohol,etc. My barrier that I faced was of the unknowing. My friends and family were all involved with my barrier. I have my barrier everywhere I go. I've been faced with my barrier for a ew years now.

As a Registered Nurse I have had the opportunity to be a preceptor to a number of nursing students. I take this role very seriously as I am aware of the impact that my mentoring has on the students’ learning experience, competence and satisfaction

A barrier that I had to break or overcome is the fact that I have WPW or ( Wolf Parkinsons White Syndrome), a heart defect. I uses many values to help me overcome my barrier. The main three I used were courage,determination,and excellence. I used COURAGE to help me realize that I had to have surgery to help me and my heart even though it did not work I know personally that I can have any kind of surgery and not be afraid. The same way Jackie Robinson used courage to ignore that man that was yelling at him even though he wanted to he knew the right thing is to not say anything at all. One of the main values I used is DETERMINATION,because right before surgery I was wanting to back out and not have it,but then I started telling myself I would

The first was the rewards for the preceptor. All the preceptors noted the personal and professional reward they received from their roles including learning from those they were training and greater impetus on personal development for the preceptor (46-47). The second result was that the preceptors all mentioned the feeling that their work was making a difference in the trainee’s lives and work. Although the lack of administrator and hospital recognition was mentioned, the preceptors were much more encouraged by the feedback from those they trained (47). Another finding involved the fact that the preceptors taught by word and example and tried to shield the student nurses from discouraging or adverse situations that might have retarded the learning process (48). A fourth theme dealt with the things that made being a preceptor difficult. Various problem areas emerged including, mental stress, feelings on a particular day, high nurse-to-patient ratios, fatigue, and scheduling conflicts (49). The final result was the appreciation of the need for a system that would provide support for the preceptor and the student nurse. The preceptors acknowledged the role played by nursing faculty, unit managers, and other students in making the preceptor learning experience better. They also conceded a need and desire for more initial orientation before taking on the role of preceptor. In sum, the preceptors felt that it was vital to their

My hopes for the future is being able to use the knowledge I gain on this class and being able to apply it on my daily work ethic. In addition., that I can used this project and use it as a recommendation on one of my meeting and do a presentation about it so my employer see the importance in making an action to help that the issues of retaining nurses need a change as soon as possible .

Have you ever closed your eyes and could still see a perfect picture? Well, believe it or not at that very moment a dream is created. My personal aspiration in life is not be the most popular or the best dressed, yet it is to be happy doing the thing I feel most passionate about. It is my personal belief that it will take skill, dedication, and passion for the world of health care to impact my community. The arena of study I wish to be knowledgably in is health care administrator. It is my goal to work for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, there I would like to use the experience and knowledge to aid in creating a better tomorrow. I do not want to claim that I will have knowledge on all subjects that cross my path, yet I will remain a humble

A willingness to work overtime to be successful is a small price to pay for such an immense accomplishment. I have been preparing for this next phase in life by focusing on the required classes necessary to advance. The experience and knowledge I have gained throughout my college career will help push me forward. My time-management skills and my ability to adapt to change excellently will provide the crucial tools I need to be a successful nursing student. I have obtained flexible positions outside of school to expand my expertise with-in the medical field and accommodate my heavy class load for the INP program.

One goal related to my personal self awareness and growth as being student nurse is able to implement all my head to toe assessment skills that I learned in lab class and try to make a change in patient's lives as much as possible. Moreover to be a specific goal is not be able to make a medication adminstration error that could harm client's health more than nursing goal I would want to focus on client's goal that way I can provide nest care and learn more from patients.

The idea of returning to school to master new skills to compete in the workplace is an excellent goal for any working adult. However, it is important for the working adult to understand success is base upon the journey taken and the path chosen by someone. One must realize there will be many barriers and difficulties along the way; however, with dedication, ability to prioritize, and motivation to stay focus, I will succeed and graduate with my Master degree in Nursing in October 2017. For me to be successful in achieving this goal, there are different pathways that I must chose and followed. These are assessing my learning styles, finding ways to manage my time, money, and stress, and setting S.M.A.R.T goals.

As a graduate student, it would be imperative to begin to develop a career plan that includes an assessment of my skills and abilities. My personal goals may include to become a nursing leader in my community. My educational goals include to have a doctorate degree in nursing. Last, professionally my goal is to aspire a highly position in my nursing career. Through the development of this Career Development Plan would allow for a clear direction in attaining my personal, educational, and professional goals.
