Don’t get me wrong, working, as an RN is very fulfilling and a blessing but I felt the need to go even higher. Pursuing my graduate study to earn my MSN will assist me with career advancement in the future, salary increase and also continue education to enhance my skills as an RN. Short term and long term goal My short-term goals would be to successfully complete this 3-week course and to improve my communication skills both in writing and verbally. My long-term goals would be to do exceptionally well in my Masters of Nursing program and hopefully work in an ICU setting so that I can gain the experience to and become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).

Running Head: Continue My Continue My Education: Why? Jennifer Deans Jana Rivers-Norton August 27, 2012 Running Head: Continue My I never thought I would be writing a paper about returning to school. Going to school was never on my list of priorities when I was younger. To tell you the truth, I never thought I would be going to college, especially so many years after graduating from high school. Over a period of years everyone’s goals and objectives change about their life.
This upcoming school year I plan to receive honor roll for all quarters and earn A’s in all of my classes. I also love to surpass personally. For example I have recently started making contact with the children’s hospital to see if I can start reading to patients there. I am also aiming to earn my CPR certification this summer so that I can start babysitting. I also think I should be considered for the national junior honor society next year because I’m responsible, caring, and I can be an excellent leader.
There are many qualities that a nurse must possess in order to be successful; respect, patience, good communication and critical thinking skills are only a few. I feel that these are my top three strengths that will help me be successful in the RN program: obtaining six years of nursing experience, empathy, and the ability to work well with others. After working in the nursing field for 6 years as an LVN, I was given the opportunity to return to school full time to receive my associate’s degree. Attending the ADN transition program would further my knowledge base and provide me with in depth skills that would make me more of an asset in the medical profession. Because of my past experience in the LVN program, I am aware of the daily challenges and struggles that full time nursing school entails.
Therefore, for the next five years I’m going to be higher my education in my nursing career and prepare for a long overdue vacation after I complete my BSN and MSN Nurse Practitioner programs. I currently have an associate of science degree in nursing. This is an entry level tertiary nursing degree from a community college. (Wikipedia, 2010) I been practicing nursing for the past thirteen in a half years with this degree and I don’t regret getting the ADN degree because it got me prepared to work with patients at the bedside and with the degree we developed strong assessment skills because during the program we had more hands on clinical experience then anything. However, I want to higher my educational level in nursing.
Success to Learning How hard can it be to become a Registered Nurse? Can I accomplish my goal and make it into my lifelong dream? All throughout my senior year of high school, I questioned myself what I wanted to do in life. I decided to major in Nursing, but there was something stopping me. Where was I going to attend school?
During my years living in California I took all AP classes leading up to my first year of high school. I now live in Auburn, Washington because my cousin didn’t want to come live with our grandma alone and to better myself. I still wanted to go on with on my AP class strike and that’s how I ended up in Mrs.Hardersons English Honors 10 class. I think I’m very prepared for what this class has to bring because my last teacher was like a college professor so I know a lot more things than some others. One of my challenges I
Perez, Enrique English 1301.257 Caroline Mains March 30, 2014 A big part of one’s life may be attending school because that is what leads them to the career they wish to be in for the rest of their living. I have learned so much because of the challenges I have faced throughout my academic career. I have put up with crazy teachers, tough assignments, and my own uncertainty of things. To this day I am happy to say that I have gotten passed those things and will keep beating more problems to get to where I will be later in life. During my high school years, a big issue of mine was some of the teachers.
She has always struggled with her confidence and belief in her own skills and abilities but doesn’t know when it first started but always seemed to have been that way. She came from a large family and many times there were 8 children in the home as her parents fostered children. Mother was always busy running the family home and father worked long hours. Father was very critical of everything/anything. The boys of the family were always encouraged to do well but the girls were always told by the father they would never amount to much as they weren’t very bright and it didn’t matter anyway, so were never supported/helped.
One of my goals is to maintain good grades, which means I will be studying more often and putting even more effort into my school work next year. Another goal I have already set up is to maintain my new studying habits I have created this year. Next year I hope to accomplish my goal of keeping my GPA up and push myself further to succeed beyond my goals I have set up for my junior year and my senior year. Other than having goals about school, one of the things I look forward to in the future is meeting new people and making new
