11/13/2015 NURS 362 Goal Statement: Obtain entry level employment as an RN in an acute care setting to gain the experience and skills necessary to develop into an independent, reliable and effective nurse in preparation for eventually becoming a CRNA.
Clinical Practice
Leadership
Objective: Obtain employment,
preferably in a new graduate program as an RN in an acute care hospital. By the end of two years, I want to be working specifically in an emergency or critical care unit.
Objective: Develop the
ability to delegate tasks to assistive personnel as necessary.
Plan: Continue to maintain
employment at Kaiser and Kapiolani hospitals until graduation from the ADN program, at which point I will be nurse aide and clinical assistant positions through both organizations while I prepare to take my licensure exam to become an RN. I will begin applying for RN positions after obtaining my license. Strengths: I have 8 years of experience working in a hospital and working directly with patients. I have a good fundamental understanding of what hospitals expect out of all of their employees and how to conduct myself professionally in a clinical setting. I have an inherent drive to excel at whatever I do, and commit myself to taking the necessary steps to thrive in reaching personal and professional goals.
Plan: As I begin my career, I plan to observe how RNs work with aides and other assistive personnel to provide efficient and effective care to patients. I also plan to have a firm understanding of my own job description as well as the job descriptions of the other types of staff I will be working with. Strengths: I have formal leadership experience from my time as a shift supervisor in dietary at Kaiser. Skills/competencies: When I am in a leadership role, I tend to act with empathy for the people I am in charge of. I dont ask anything of them that I wouldnt ask of myself. Areas targeted for growth: I can lack
Professional Development Objective: Apply to an accredited nurse anesthetist program. (This may not be a realistic goal within the next two years, but is currently my ultimate goal). Plans/Strategies: Research my various options, spend/save carefully after graduation in order to be able to afford more schooling, and take whatever prerequisites I am still missing between my associates degree in nursing and bachelors degree in nutrition.
Strengths: Im a strong student. Im a
good writer, have test taking skills, and will be able to apply to a nurse anesthesia with a competitive GPA. Skills/competencies: Before I begin the process of applying to a nurse anesthesia program, I plan to have at least 2 years of acute care nursing experience, an RN license, my associates degree in nursing, and my bachelors degree in human nutrition. I have a strong science background from both of my degrees. Areas for improvement: Throughout nursing school, time management has been my biggest issue. Ive been juggling school with two part time jobs. Although Ive managed up to this point,
Skills/competencies: I am CPR/BLS certified and plan to be a licensed RN with an associates degree in nursing by early next year. I also have extensive knowledge of human nutrition, which may be helpful in providing or at least reinforcing nutrition education to patients in the future. Areas Targeted for Growth: While we do get some experience in learning and practicing nursing skills throughout nursing school, I definitely want to grow in that area as I begin my nursing career. I want to be able to perform nursing skills effectively, efficiently, and-above all- safely.
assertiveness at times and can shy away from confrontation by taking on excessive responsibilities. I need to work on acting with conviction and making unpopular decisions when necessary.
I would expect it to be too difficult to
maintain employment while completing a nurse anesthesia program. I will also need to improve my ability to manage my money in order to save up the amount of money this will require.
