Short & Long Term Goals

SHORT & LONG TERM GOALS

With the culmination of school and the start of a new career it is

important to identify the goals I would like to achieve in the near and distant
future. Life can become overwhelming and its easy to become distracted
from your goals. However, writing your goals out keeps you accountable and
makes you one step closer to achieving them. Throughout my life I have a
developed a passion for the pediatric population, this passion has influenced
my life choices and is reflected in my goals.
Short Term Goals:
1. Obtain a RN position working with the pediatric population by 3/2017.
2. Begin working as a RN in a pediatric ICU by 3/2018.
Long Term Goals:
1. Apply to acute care pediatric DNP programs by 12/2020.
2. Obtain a position as a nurse practitioner working with the critically ill
pediatric population by 12/2024.
