Program of Study and the Professional Development Plan
I must identify a development plan that correlates with my professional and personal goals as my graduate study in nursing begins. I am writing this development plan to gather and organize my educational and professional background in an effort to plan my future career options. This development plan is based on my future coursework and clinical hours.
Education and Professional Background
My name is Audrey Baker and I am going to review my personal background with you. My current residence is Zanesville, Ohio where I have lived the majority of life. I am married with no children yet. I have two dogs who are my like my children. Since I was young, I have wanted to become a nurse and someday obtain my master’s degree.
In 2010 I graduated from associate’s degree in nursing the first time. I then worked at a long term care facility as a registered nurse (RN) supervisor for almost two years before I went back to school to further my education with a bachelor’s degree. I then sought employment at an acute care facility, the local hospital. I have since finished my bachelor’s degree and worked on a cardiac/stroke floor for over two years. I have recently moved positions to work in the surgery department.
I am currently certified in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), basic life support (BLS) and advanced stroke life support (ASLS) and plan to re-certify in ACLS this summer. I am also certified in congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. I plan to obtain my certified nurse in operating room (CNOR) within the next year as well. I also hold certifications in electrocardiogram (EKG) operation as well as national institute of health (NIH) scale for stroke patients.
My areas of experience include: management of nursing and unauthorized

    My name is Tina Connor and I’m thirty four years old I was born here in Chicago. For the last seven years I have worked for the United States Post Office. The reason I would like to become a C.N.A. is because it will be the first step at achieving my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. Once I receive my certificate I will be able to take my state board and enroll into the nursing program at Dabney University. With my certificate I will be able to work in hospitals, nursing homes, and provide home health care. Upon receiving my training I will be able to help my grandmother who is ninety six years old with more safe and quality care. My grandmother was my guardian she had to retire early to raise me from birth so I would like to be able to assist her as much as possible in her time of need (golden years). My grandmother would be so proud of me to get a degree that I should have obtained years ago since I graduated with honors and had a full scholarship to attend college. I didn’t know how important a college degree was at the time and we all make mistakes. I truly care about the well-being of others and enjoy being able to make a difference in the patient’s lives. I want to accomplish something important in my life, as a C.N.A. I will have the opportunity to make an impact in not only the lives of the patients that I help, but also their friends and families. While suffering from an illness, disease or disability the patient’s lives will be more comfortable, and it can be a very rewarding experience. Utilizing my skills and being dependable will also make a difference for the nursing team. The ladder only…

    Since I quit my job at Miami Children’s Hospital, a lot had changed. When I graduated eight years ago, nurses where in such high demand, that with an ASN degree there where so many open doors to choose from. My personal goal was always to re-enter a pediatric hospital. Now after being in home health and hospice care for the past 6 years, I have found it extremely difficult to get back into the hospital setting, without having a BSN. More Hospitals are seeking Magnet status, and therefore most facilities in my area prefer BSN or higher to even work as a bedside nurse.…
