My Goals

Academic Goal
My academic goal is to complete all my assigments on time and push towards getting nothing less than a B so I can graduate with an associates degree in Allied Health Science within two years. I think my goal is clear, measurable and realistic. It 's clear because this is what I have to do to reach my goal and nothing is going to distract me. It 's measurable because as the weeks go by I can measure my grades by my performance in class. It is also realistic because this is a do-able goal I feel I can get good grades and graduate on time.
The reason I chose to get this degree is because becoming a nurse is and has always been a passion of mines I just chose not to pursue it until now. I 'm not as knowledgeable as I want to be but thats the reason for taking this course so I can learn more than I imagined. I love nursing because helping people gives me great joy it 's sort of in my nature. Attaining this degree will give me the knowledge and credibility I need to go out and find the perfect job.
My motivation for achieving this goal is based on the fact that this is my second college and failing is not an option. My intrinsic motivation for graduating would have to be my love for helping others in need. In order for me to achieve my career goal I would first have to achieve my academic goal. Reward or not the feeling that I get from being able to see people feel better and helping the ones in need is more than enough. My extrinsic motivation would have to be my family. I want to show them that I can reach my goal because not finishing my first college an degree gave them the impression that I wouldn 't do anything with my life and by accomplishing this goal it would make them so proud of me and shocked and that 's what I want.
My attitude will help me achieve my goal because a lot of times I get into that I don 't feel like working or this is boring mood and thats what hindered my performance at

    Nursing, in my opinion, is one of the most significant professions that one can be blessed to acquire. To those who pursue this field know it is a career that requires far more than simply an education even though the knowledge acquired from a degree is extremely important and necessary, by grasping rationale of the laws and regulations that rule nursing. A career in nursing requires someone to have compassion, sympathy, and care for others, especially those who are suffering from pain, illness and lack the understanding of what is happening to them or a loved one. It is a career of humanity, and it is this that first attracted me to a Masters degree in Nursing. My philosophy about nursing is that it is a career that one has to work hard for, but also a career that a person needs to have to a natural affinity for. I also believe one must have a commitment to helping others not expecting anything in return but a smile and knowing when you go home you gave your all. The ability to be a compassionate, caring nurse is what I hope to bring to the Masters degree in Nursing Program, gaining…

It helped provide me with a sense of direction, peace of mind, and a much needed decrease in stress. Setting goals have kept me focused on achieving what I set out for in my profession, and will definitely benefit me as a student. Accomplishing my goals will rely on, creating an action plan, having a strong support system, and setting time frames for success benchmarks.…

    I chose nursing as my profession because of my mother and other factors. My mother was an influence because early this year she was in the hospital for two weeks and during that period I only saw the doctor thrice. The nurses where the ones doing everything, so I felt they were the ones who nursed her back to health. The other deciding factors were: variety of places for jobs whether in the public, private, or community setting; the opportunity to learn new things since no day is ever the same; the opportunity to work with other health professionals; nurses will always be needed; nursing offers specialty areas, and the opportunity to be a traveling nursing.…

    A degree in Nursing could help me follow the path that I have wanted to obtain, for myself and for my family. As a first generation, there are high expectations for me to achieve and continue my studies to provide my sisters with a role model. Picking a college to attend was a pretty big deal to my parents than it was for me, for instance, they wanted me to attend a school that would provide me with a lot of financial aid, a school where it is small enough that I do not blend in, and a school that is known for their Nursing program. With that it lead me to this university, knowing that a small institute would provide me with a better outlook rather than a larger university. My experience so far has been a roller coaster, mostly downs. It was a big transition, going from high school where everything is given to you and you follow the material, to a setting where you have to set yourself and prioritize on what is important and disciplining yourself. The material is quite different as well, in high school, we went over the general and basics of a material while in college we review the basics but go even further into the…

    Nursing is a career not just a job, nursing is treating people as a disease, but as a unique individual who has his/her own values, beliefs, needs, and also treat the family with respect, compassion, patience, and show that we care. I chose nursing because I have always liked helping people. Ever since I was a little girl I liked helping and I would tell my dad that if he was ever sick I would take care of him so he could get better. At first I wanted to be a doctor, a pediatrician to be exact, but I chose nursing because, nurses have more contact with patients and nursing school is shorter than medical school. I know I made the right choice because as I have been doing clinicals, I have been falling more and more in love with what nurses do, but throughout the process I have also seen what kind of nurse I do not want to be. During clinicals there was an agency nurse a patient did…

    I often get asked the question of what makes me want to pursue nursing? Or, why would I want to attend nursing school? To answer the question(s), there are numerous reasons as to how my interest in nursing came about and what makes me strive towards a possible future in nursing. For instance, like most individuals interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare field, I love helping people. Not only people, but specifically babies. I relish the idea of being able to take care of newborns. The thought of being able to nourish and nurture a premature infant back to health, and helping make mothers feel at ease brings me joy. To me nursing is essential because there will always be someone in need.…
