My Goals

Be a patient advocate
During my first 6 months as a registered nurse, I will become proficient in identifying patient advocacy opportunities in the unit, documenting and reflecting on at least three instances per month, utilizing available resources and seeking guidance as needed, with the aim of addressing patient needs and rights as evidenced by positive feedback from patients, families, and clinical preceptors, as well as self-reflection
Prioritize self-care
During my first 6 months as an RN, I commit to prioritizing self-care by implementing a structured routine that includes dedicating 15 minutes daily to mindfulness practices such as meditation and seeking support from a therapist for ongoing mental and emotional well-being, with the objective of significantly reducing stress levels, improving overall health and resilience, and achieving a greater work-life balance.
Become a nurse preceptor
Within the 2 years, I aim to become a competent nurse preceptor, actively participating in at least 1 precepting opportunities per month, beginning by taking nursing students doing clinicals on the floor, and ultimately being officially recognized as a nurse preceptor within my healthcare institution
Become Certified in Critical Care
Within the next 2 years, I will prepare for and successfully pass the Critical Care Registered Nurse (CCRN) certification exam by completing a comprehensive review course, consistently scoring above 80% on practice exams, seeking mentorship from experienced nurses, and ultimately obtaining CCRN certification to enhance my clinical expertise and proficiency in providing optimal care to critically ill patients.
