“It’s not what you achieve, it’s what you overcome. That’s what defines your career.” (Carlton Fisk) Setting the framework of personal goals gives you long term vision and short term motivation. My personal goals are to continue as a positive, committed role model for my husband and children, earn degrees in both Medical Coding & Reimbursement and Nursing, and become a charge Nurse specializing in outpatient surgery; challenging but realistic. Understanding the influence of, and using strengths and skills retained from education is crucial for personal, educational, and professional success. Engaging and exploiting these qualities may justify indispensability, boost quality of life, and effectively parallel success within the career world. Even though career goals can be confronted with challenges, a precise career plan, utilizing educational resources, and increasing human capital will make you career goals attainable.
My career plan is exact in nature. The employment outlook for technicians is anticipated to increase by 21 percent and 26 percent for Nurses, respectively through 2020 (Occupational Outlook Handbook, BLS, 2011). This prediction allows for elbow room should new obstacles arise. Foremost, I must earn my Medical Coding and Reimbursement degree. Then, procure gainful employment in the Medical Records and Health Information Technology field. Simultaneously, I will establish myself within an educational hospital, such as Albany Medical Center, Albany, NY. While working, I need to minimize my tuition debt, pursue entry into the nursing program at Albany Medical College, and acquire my R. N. degree. Next, secure a position within the operating suite. Where I will work to develop and refine my skills, with the hel...

I did however learn a great deal about myself. For all the skills I lack, I discovered many I possess, and can leverage to make up for my shortcomings. That lesson alone will help my psyche when the going gets rough. My journey has already begun, yet is far from complete.

My interest in nursing is fairly new; I had not explored the potential that a nursing career can offer. I became familiar with nursing professionally after becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. While working with patients, side-by-side with nurses I became enamored with the potential of a nursing career. I now have a rewarding career working as a Medical-Surgical nurse on a Medical University Hospital floor that specializes in Transplant, Nephrology and Urology. Nursing encompasses the ideologies that fuel my passion, upon further research, and conversation with coworkers I realize my career goal of Family Nurse Practitioner; affording me the privilege to care for others by reaching out to various

In most cases people are required to have some experiences before they start their career. In the essay “Let me Play”, Mary Brophy Marcus challenged herself through her experiences in college athletics. Her challenges helped her to prepare for a successful business career. Based on her story I would follow her to be my example to prepare and challenge myself before my career. One of my goals is to become a nurse. I know I will need to be fully prepared to be an effective nurse. I plan on being prepared by gaining work experiences, working hard in school, and obtaining the necessary certifications. It is because of these preparations I will be an effective and caring nurse.
My career goal has always been to become an RN because I love helping people in every way possible and making them feel better. Becoming and RN will mean I get to do what I love every day. I know in order to accomplish my goal is to work hard to graduate from high school and go to college. Sometimes I feel like I'm not going to be able to make it but my brother proves me wrong by showing me so many ways I can achieve that
I have had the opportunity to care for wonderful individuals, each of whom have contributed the fabric of my personal nursing career. Nursing is a profession of both joy and sadness combined. My career has provided me the opportunity to care for those I need. In retrospect I can say that my personal nursing tapestry is comprised of patients who were grateful to a care team, after being revived from suffering a sudden cardiac event, the smile of a trusting child, a hand to be held while working with hospice patients and their families. My current role is a case manager. I seldom have direct contact with patients who have chronic illnesses, yet I am gifted with their trust. I have been given an opportunity to support, care, respect, educate, collaborate and research practice improvement initiatives. I continue to formulate my own nursing philosophy daily. While I experience daily encounters that allow my tapestry to become more colorful and detailed, I allow myself to set new goals. My final nursing goal, is to become a nurse practitioner. I can see myself in the next year working in an academic capacity in becoming a leader in rural health improvement and proficient at educating patients with diabetes and other chronic conditions, speaking at national events, advocating for patients and playing an active role in health policy. In five years I can see myself being ready to embark on another

A career in the medical field is always evolving, and always needing more hands. I knew from a young age that helping people is what I was meant to do, and from then on out every step I took was the way to a successful career in nursing. It is a profession that allows you to see people at their worst, all while helping them become their best. The most important task for nursing students is to create a clear pathway for our education, and to be sure to follow that plan accordingly. When choosing this career, I had to access my own strengths and weaknesses and really establish clear goals for myself and evaluate if I had what it takes to be a part of this diverse and skilled profession. I also decided not only not only do I need to set professional goals for this career, personal goals are important as well.
I chose nursing as a career because I found the work challenging, exciting and rewarding. I feel my skills and attributes are well suited for nursing. My ability to sta...
I chose these goals because I believe that they are relevant to my current professional role as a registered nurse (RN) staff and to my future career as a nurse leader. My first goal will assist me in understanding the different quality improvement goals and outcomes in the institution; hence, motivating me as a nurse to advance my current practice and deliver better patient care. Moreover, this will increase my knowledge on prevalent evidence-based practices that I can utilize someday to conduct my own quality improvement research. My long-term career goal is to advance my profession and become a family nurse practitioner. Since I want to manage my own clinic in the future, my second goal is directed to learning about the responsible handling
I don’t have one career goal; I have multiple career goals, because everything is a goal towards a greater goal. One needs to accomplish little things to achieve something bigger. When it comes to career goals I would like to be able to accomplish everything needed to be successful. With schooling I need to try hard and pass all my courses and receive all my credits in order to graduate. I also need to be able to pass my final exams. A major goal is graduation. Graduation is the main point to all of this. After I graduate my goal is to find a job in North Carolina at a hospital or clinic. There are many job settings for Healthcare administration, but in a hospital is my main goal. I wouldn’t mind working another setting, but a hospital is what I am shooting towards. Once I achieve this goal, I know I will what to bump my education up and try for my master’s degree. Since I found out I can further my education I knew that one day I eventually will further myself and those are my career goals. I know Kaplan has a great process in helping me achieve my career
Each individual gets to a point in life whereby they assess their internal qualities, people reflect their profession aspirations and attempt to see which careers will make them happy in their lives. It is also important for a person to consider whether they have the qualities needed for a particular profession and also consider the available resources that will help him or her reach their set goals (Chafey, Rhea, Shannon, & Spencer, (1998). Every human being has weaknesses and strengths in their personal or professional aspirations. Having strength means that someone has the physical and mental power to perform things in a successful manner. On the other hand, weaknesses are the drawbacks, the inadequate lack of strength or power to accomplish important goals in life, and every human has some potential of being a leader in some way (American Association of Critical Care Nurses (2006). This paper will discuss the outcome results inventory on the nurse as a manager, it illustrates personal strength and weaknesses in relation to personal life and professional aspirations. The paper will also discuss planning for career, disciplines in personal expedition, practice
Since starting this class, introduction to health care, I have begun to think about what the future holds for me and what I will pursue with my college degree. At this point in time my career goal is to become a physician assistant in orthopedic surgery. I plan on working in a hospital setting where I can continue to learn and practice my profession. Five years after all my schooling and achieving my license, professionally I see myself working at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, New York, which is a teaching hospital. I would be working on and with patients, while still learning as I practice my previous knowledge. I would be seeing patients with injuries such as an ankle sprain, evaluating x-rays, and possibly sitting on and
In this life, it is important to me to feel like I have a purpose, a reason for being alive. Living a life that inspires others, empowers and encourages people, promotes health and education and allows me to leave my mark, my legacy, is how I measure success. That is my goal in becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. I have been a nurse for over ten years, having the opportunity to work with patients in a variety of settings through nursing school and afterwards including rehabilitation, medical surgical, pediatrics, labor and delivery, intensive care, and most recently at a day surgery center working with patients before, during and after surgery. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I see myself teaching and leading people towards successes,
My personal mission is to improve people’s lives through medicine and care and make world a healthier place by using my skills and coming up with innovative ideas to manage healthcare organizations. There are two goals which need to be accomplished: One is the short term goal which is to be accomplished in a short period, say a year or few months. My short term career objective is to complete my Masters degree in Administrative Science with good grades which will reflect in my resume. Second is the long term goal: what I want to do in the next 5 years and where I want to be at the end of the fifth year by effectively shaping my future in an organization. My objective is to be a Healthcare Services Administrator of a healthcare organization such as hospital or public health department. My degree of Administrative Science with specialization in Global Health and Human Services will help me to develop skills to manage a healthcare facility effectively and efficiently, as well as my human resources skills will help me manage and work with people. This will guide me to achi...
