This goal is important because it will lead me to my overall goal. In order to achieve this goal I will have to transfer to the University of Texas at Arlington.

Lastly, to accomplish my goal I will have to take a minimum of twelve hours per semester including summers to accomplish this goal in two years.
In conclusion, I hope to accomplish all of my goals that will eventually lead me to become a registered nurse. After completing my Bachelors of Science in Nursing I hope to find employment as a registered nurse that includes a good starting salary, a flexible schedule, and other great
