Program of Study and the Professional Development Plan
I must identify a development plan that correlates with my professional and personal goals as my graduate study in nursing begins. I am writing this development plan to gather and organize my educational and professional background in an effort to plan my future career options. This development plan is based on my future coursework and clinical hours.
Education and Professional Background
My name is Audrey Baker and I am going to review my personal background with you. My current residence is Zanesville, Ohio where I have lived the majority of life. I am married with no children yet. I have two dogs who are my like my children. Since I was young, I have wanted to become a nurse and someday obtain my master’s degree.
In 2010 I graduated from associate’s degree in nursing the first time. I then worked at a long term care facility as a registered nurse (RN) supervisor for almost two years before I went back to school to further my education with a bachelor’s degree. I then sought employment at an acute care facility, the local hospital. I have since finished my bachelor’s degree and worked on a cardiac/stroke floor for over two years. I have recently moved positions to work in the surgery department.
I am currently certified in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), basic life support (BLS) and advanced stroke life support (ASLS) and plan to re-certify in ACLS this summer. I am also certified in congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. I plan to obtain my certified nurse in operating room (CNOR) within the next year as well. I also hold certifications in electrocardiogram (EKG) operation as well as national institute of health (NIH) scale for stroke patients.
My areas of experience include: management of nursing and unauthorized

    Since I quit my job at Miami Children’s Hospital, a lot had changed. When I graduated eight years ago, nurses where in such high demand, that with an ASN degree there where so many open doors to choose from. My personal goal was always to re-enter a pediatric hospital. Now after being in home health and hospice care for the past 6 years, I have found it extremely difficult to get back into the hospital setting, without having a BSN. More Hospitals are seeking Magnet status, and therefore most facilities in my area prefer BSN or higher to even work as a bedside nurse.…

    As a medical assistant, I did something as minor as checking someone’s weight to administering immunizations under the supervision of the LVN or the physician. I did anything that was within my scope of practice but felt that I was limited and wanted to do more with my career. I then went back to school and received my LVN in 2012 with the encouragement of my job. There, I transitioned to a department that is considered a high-risk perinatal unit. In this job, I had more responsibility and direct patient care, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Working in a high-risk unit, I developed my critical thinking skills even more and learned how to help with managing care of those with different pregnancy related conditions. I realized that I wanted to see what else I could do and stated researching other nursing…

    My intended career is to attain a career in nursing where I can express my care and patience to those who need it most. As I was growing up, I really enjoyed helping out and taking care of people in any way possible. I was always right there when something would happen, because I was worried and interested at the same time. I also grew up around family friends who have become nurses, so watching them do their best at their job was quite the experience. This is when I decided that I wanted to become a nurse. I am currently participating in a Certified Nursing Assistant class at Fox Valley Technical College, and I have been accepted to a Medical Assistant Program starting in fall 2017.
