MY SMART GOALS 

Long term (end of first year) 

My long-term goal that I hope to attain by the end of first year, is to redevelop the habit of going to the gym 3-5 times a week.

I selected this as my long-term goal because I want to further instill self-care into my life. Before university, I was attending the gym 3-5 days a week. Due to intimidation, I slowly stopped going once I started school. I want to start attending the gym, because physical exercise helped me clear my frustrations and feel better physically and emotionally throughout my days.

Short term

My short term that I am setting for myself is for my next semester clinical. My goal is to develop the basic clinical skills that are essential for nursing practice, including assessments, documentation, and communication (or my patient personability).
