Goals
Goals in nursing are important as you want to want to work toward them, and once mastered you want to uphold them throughout your career. I have a few traits that I would like to enhance during my tenure at Trent University and beyond. The first being to uphold ethical and professional standards when working as a nurse. This will help my image when working with patients and other nurses/future nurses, as I would like to be known as a professional in the workplace. enhancing this trait will mean I will have to
have professional language, as well as professional practice when doing clinical or working. I would like to set mastering this trait as a future goal of mine. However, I do not expect to master any traits before graduating, as many nurses don’t master any traits for quite a bit of time. My goal by the end of this program is to have professional and ethical practices that meet or go above and beyond the standards a registered nurse needs. The next trait I would like to enhance is supporting my nursing colleagues, as this comes with teamwork and collaboration. Being able to support my colleagues means never talking behind their backs, and viewing them as my equals and working with them to advance
and work towards mastering this goal. I expect to be proficient and a nurse others like to work with by the end of my 4 year nursing program, as this will be a step in the right direction towards my goal off eventually mastering this trait. There are other goals I have for my self in the future, but these two traits mastered are needed to become a strong and helpful nurse no matter the work setting
