Professional Nursing Goals

Be a competent, compassionate nurse leader

Patients are the most important reason I am a nurse. My first goal as a graduate

is to become an expert bedside nurse, providing the best care through

evidence-based technical proficiency, patient-centered teamwork, and

therapeutic relationships.

Affect positive, patient-centered change in my unit and

institution.

I am dedicated to patient advocacy, championing evidence-based

interventions for individual patients as well as systemic support for patient

safety, satisfaction, and outcomes. I utilize national networks as

resources to learn and share best practices.

Personal experience has given me a big heart for the care of

patients with female-specifi c cancers. My ultimate goal is to become a nurse practitioner in

oncology.

Promote women’s health and provide women’s cancer care.
