MY GOALS

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Professional goals in nursing are crucial as they provide direction, enhance patient care, foster personal and career development, and help navigate the challenges of a demanding profession. By setting clear and achievable goals, I aim to not only improve my own skills and job satisfaction but also contribute to the healthcare system, leading to better patient outcomes.

GOAL #1 – Personal
My first goal is to develop a balanced work/life routine that supports both my academic and personal well-being during my first semester. I will create a weekly agenda to stay organized and ensure that I am meeting my academic milestones. Additionally, I will regularly check in with my instructors to assess my progress and ensure I am on the right track. I plan to begin this routine at the start of each week to maximize my productivity and set the foundation for a successful nursing career.

GOAL #2 – Professional Improvement
My second goal is to enhance my communication skills, both verbal and written. I will actively engage in at least one group project or team collaboration each semester, seeking constructive feedback from peers and instructors. My aim is to improve my communication effectiveness by 15% by the end of the academic year, tracking my progress along the way. This will not only improve my ability to collaborate but will also contribute to more effective patient care and team dynamics.
