I aim to be successful in nursing school and beyond. One of my primary goals is to manage my time and prioritize effectively. I also intend to develop interpersonal skills and enhanced emotional intelligence to help me better understand and effectively communicate with patients. I will engage in patient advocacy, particularly with people dealing with the struggles and challenges of sickle cell anemia. I will show competency in my work by making it a mission to understand and rationalize everything I do as a nurse. I will strive to avoid medical errors and mistakes by taking time to verify medical processes and medication dosages. I will apply theoretical knowledge by researching various theories and medical information and then use that knowledge and information to be a better nurse. My education at Palm Beach Atlantic University is a major life goal in itself. I look forward to gaining immense knowledge
that will be crucial to my career path towards the healthcare system.
The notion of helping others has always been part of my existence, and it is what motivated me to choose nursing as a major. Caring is an important concept in nursing (Omari et al., 203). To be a nurse, you must possess a genuine interest in the wellness of others, and it is a career that requires affection, time, and attention to people in need. I have always been a peopleΒs person, by continually participating in volunteering work in my community. My experience doing voluntary work has been priceless because it made me realize that the joy and fulfillment you get from helping people transcends any material reward. Secondly, nursing is an adventurous, as well as a continuous, learning field that will give me the opportunity to grow and expand. Furthermore, nursing will provide me with the flexibility to spend more time with my family.
