SMART Goals
SMART Goals are goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. I have outlined two SMART goals below for the upcoming winter semester as I start my first clinical placement in my nursing program.
Goal #1: Short-Term Goal
My short-term goal for next semester during my long-term care clinical placement is to perform basic nursing skills at least once, including bathing, toileting, and taking vital signs for patients. I would like to achieve this goal by January 31st, 2025.
Goal #2: Long-Term Goal
My long-term goal for next semester during my long-term care clinical placement is to become proficient in performing basic nursing skills independently including bathing, toileting, and taking vital signs for patients. I would like to achieve this goal by the end of the semester on April 4th, 2025.
