My Nursing Professional Goals

Improved Essays
My professional goals for the next 3-5 years include being accepted into a nurse practitioner program at Ohio University, completing the program and graduating. Another one of my professional goals is to increase my volunteer hours within the community. I am currently seeking volunteer opportunities that allow this to be fulfilled. “Service” is one of the reasons I became a nurse, in fact it is the complete reason I’m in healthcare. I am in the process of researching specialty conferences I can attend to enhance my knowledge. I am then planning on applying for a CNP position within OHIOHEALTH. Obtaining this scholarship assists with the financial burden of paying for school. The scholarship would help to off-set some of the cost for tuition, books, lab fees, etc.

This academic program is important to me reaching my goals because it enables me to provide better patient care by enhancing my knowledge in the nursing field. The FNP program improves confidence by equipping individuals with the necessary tools. These scholarships offered here at OHIOHEALTH are life changing particularly for someone like myself. Receiving a scholarship prevents extra shifts needing to be picked-up for school money.
