My Values Assessment

My time on earth here is crucial. I never know when my time is up to leave, so it’s important that I find what my purpose is here before my time is up. Since I was nine years old, I was determined that I was going to be a professional dancer. I had been dancing majority of my life, I couldn’t see myself doing anything else. That all changed when my family decided to move to a different state. Dance wasn’t as big in Florida as it was in New York, and my family couldn’t afford to continue my training. I didn’t know what I wanted to be anymore and I felt I didn’t have a purpose. Soon after, I had an overwhelming feeling that I wanted to help people. I then decided I wanted to be a nurse. I knew I loved Science and wanting to help people made
When I took the values assessment, I was to determine what my values were. From the results, support, relationships, and achievement were my top values. Having support is very important in my academic path. I tend to put a lot on my plate and think I’m not doing enough. Having professors and advisors checking on me and letting me know if I’m doing enough gives me a sense of relief. In the work place all three values are important to me. Having a support system and relationships at work go hand in hand. Having people there to help and talk to me are needed for me to succeed in my career in nursing. As a nurse I want to be able to have the support and relationship with others nurse so we can all help each other. Being a nurse can be overwhelming if I am trying to do everything on my own, and not reaching out to anyone to get help or talk to. Without these values I will feel lonely and feel like I can’t count on anyone. Achievement is another value important to me. I work hard in everything I do and sometimes if no one notices I feel like it was all for nothing. In school when I get good feedback from my professors I feel a sense achievement and it keeps me going to do good in school. When I am at work, I like being able to complete a project or task and let my manager it is done. Knowing that I was able to get something done makes me feel good inside. Without these values I wouldn’t be able to
My strengths are achiever, input, and learner. Being an achiever is what keeps me going in life. Ever since I was young, I decided I didn’t want to be like my family. My family was never able to complete anything in life, so I decided I would complete everything they weren’t able to. Since then, once I decide to do something, I make I get it done. Whenever I complete something, I feel a sense of achievement. That feeling that I get is what keeps me going in life. Because one of my strengths is achievement, I try to help others to reach their full potential. My second strength is input. Input is part of who I am. I am constantly always looking for ways to add to my knowledge. I am always curious about something. Once I find something curious, I feel I need to know more until my mind is satisfied. This will help me in nursing in educating my patients on how to better take care of themselves and having a base knowledge on any of their questions. My third strength is leaner. As a learner, I am able to find what learning strategy works best for me. I like learning with people and at times by just reading. Being a learner, I am also intrigued by a variety of subjects. I am always eager to learn to something new as well as, I like to teach what I know to others. Having input and learning as my strengths, will help me in my career to know how to keep learning to take care of my patients in various ways. These strengths
