Setting personal goals in my life are important to me because I want to strive for personal
Excellence. I hope that as long as I live I will strive to excel and learn. Achievement of a short term goal leads to a long term goal and it never ends unless I will it to end. Since I’m passionate about learning and setting goals I believe I will continue to learn and achieve new goals. One goal I am working on now is learning how to write an excellent paper, in proper APA format.
In Addition, I’m working on writing short term goals and long term goals.

Another long term goal after I achieve my BSN will be to become a certified Psychiatric RN. It should come fairly easy for me to obtain the psychiatric RN Certification because I was working as a Psychiatric RN (just not certified) for ten years at Brotman Medical Center from the years 1990 to 2000. I then will study to be a clinical nurse specialist in Psychiatric Nursing or possibly become a nurse manager or nurse supervisor in Psychiatric Nursing. I could supervise Associate RN’s, LVN’s Psychiatric Technicians and CNA’s
Right now I’m not working as an RN because I’m devoting myself full time in the BSN Program at the University of Phoenix.
Another Short term goal of mine is working my exercise program which consists
Of riding my exercise bike, taking walks and a few strengthening exercises to both legs. I hope to build up to one hour on the exercise bike and walking one hour a day, if time permits. I can’t forget the importance of time management.
I will drink at least eight glasses of water a day and lose two pounds of fat per week. I will achieve a
