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

    Even as a small child attending Elementary School, I had this vision of becoming a Nurse and working in as hospital assisting the sick and needy. Not just a nurse trying to make money, but also that nurse who shows caring and understanding for all patients young or old, rich or poor, and of course the one that would see beyond a patients color. Life doesn’t always take you in a single direction, so even though I have worked in numerous industries including the healthcare field, dreams got pushed aside as other interests were pursued. Today I can say that I have taken that first step; that giant leap to achieving that dream. Finally, I have registered and started classes which will lead to me graduating with an Associate of Science degree and ultimately becoming a Registered Nurse after 2 years of study and also being successful in the State Licensure exams.…

    1 The Birthday Present... I have always held a full time job, since I was 18. I worked in a group home as a direct care worker until I got my CNA certification, then I worked in various nursing homes. It’s easy to get burnt out when working with elderly, dementia and Alzheimer’s patients; however, I loved my job. Taking care of others is what I wanted to do. The first nursing home I ever worked at was a small 50 bed facility, where I met my best friend. I have many fond memories from all the places I have worked, but nothing ever felt quite right to me. In July of 2011 I got the opportunity of my life! I was job searching, due to recently being laid off from the nursing home I was employed at. I was putting in applications on the internet daily; I swear I must have sent out a million. I came across a job posting for a nursing assistant at The Veterans Affairs Medical Center, on the Psychiatry Unit in Ann Arbor. I read the description and I knew that was the job for me!…
