Example of my other paper
Five years from now I envision myself as a Nurse Practitioner with a specialty in women’s healthcare. As I embark on my journey to achieve my long term goal in becoming a leader in my profession I must fine tune my short term goals. My short term goals are to complete all my courses to complete my ADN to BSN, then I will work on completing my BSN to MSN, finally I will work on completing my licensure and certifications for WHNP. I understand my journey in nursing will take time, dedication, and take hard work to reach my final goal, but I love being a nurse and being passionate is where my motivation to start my journey begins. After I reach my long term goal, who knows I might just set on another journey to achieve my DNP. I would love to work in the management sector as well as education and training of nursing at my hospital. I feel that working as an RN I am gathering knowledge, hands on experience, networking and really laying down a foundation for my career in the long run. I love nursing and really find it crucial that the people in management are excellent educators in our practice, we learn from experience.
