higher level to achieve a charge nurse position. On a team, it is important to work with your
team members cohesively. Being able to ask for help will help the floor run smoothly instead of
trying to take on the job by yourself. Working on my leadership skills will help me see how to
ask for help in a professional, polite way and help me to lead those around me. Additionally, by
learning to lead with my interdisciplinary team, I can learn how to lead at a charge nurse level
Educational Goal:
My educational goal is to return to school after 10 years and earn a NP degree. I want to
stay in bedside nursing for a while to learn how to care for patients properly and acquire enough
skills and compassion to work as an NP. I like nursing and want to learn as much as I can before
I decide to leave bedside nursing. I feel there is a lot of knowledge to acquire in the different
fields and units. I want to start in Med/Surg nursing to quickly learn new skills and improve the
ones I know. After a couple years I want to move onto ED nursing or Trauma to learn more
skills and develop quick thinking skills. I also think the ED and Trauma units are a great way to
improve pathophysiology knowledge as you must make connections with illness and injury at a
faster pace. The years I practice in these different fields will help to prepare me to become a NP.
