GOALS
No one knows what the future holds, and flexibility is a key component to success. These goals, however, are the things that I've identified as most important to me in my professional career.

SHORT TERM​
Immediately after graduating, I plan to work on a nursing unit and hone my skills and clinical judgement to become a competent ​nurse. Within 2 to 5 years, I would like to enter a graduate program to obtain a nurse practitioner degree.
LONG TERM
Professionally, my long term goals include continuing to work and transitioning from a novice to a role model for new nurses. I would one day like to obtain my Doctorate of Nursing Practice as well. I want to be a learner my whole life, always being open to new, evidence based practice, and avoiding becoming stuck in tradition and a "that's just how we've always done it" mindset.
