Personal Goals

My personal goals I have chosen gives me motivation, keeps me focused on the

future, and transform dreams into reality. These goals keep me excited, and when I set my

mind to accomplishing my goals, the motivation continues to help me overcome any

obstacles that I face along the way. These goals are measurable, specific, and formulated

to be attained with time and hard work that I put in. I am excited what the future holds for

me and look forward to receiving support from my family, coworkers, and hospital team

towards achieving my goals.

Short Term

Within 1 year, I am going to work on a medical surgical floor as an RN, which will allow

me to gain valuable experience as a new graduate nurse, working on different population

of patients.
Within 2 years, I am going to work in a critical care unit as an RN, which will allow me

to practice as a nurse, taking care of patients at their sickest and learn new evidence-

based practice.

Long Term

Within 5 years, I am going to be applying and completing a masters program in nursing

to become a family nurse practitioner. This will open doors to leadership positions,

personal development, and gain more knowledge on evidence-based practice to use in the

clinical setting and improve patient outcomes.

Within 10 years, I am going to be practicing as a family nurse practitioner, which will

allow me to have autonomy and continue to improve my skills and assets to take care of

patients in diverse populations.
