Nursing is a career which I believe that needs to come from the heart and I have at all times appreciated with respect. My aim in doing my education in nursing was because I always wanted to achieve an extended and successful profession in the health and medical field. I suppose the responsibilities of a nurse can be very demanding and frantic in certain instances but nothing can be equal to the joy and satisfaction it brings. There are many specialized areas in the field of nursing but I was particular interested in the mental health field. I have had a chance to experience mental healths nursing during one of my placements .There are a few goals which I would like to achieve within the next couple of years. After graduating and achieving my registration my plan is to do a graduate year in mental health. My aim is to start on a postgraduate program to master in mental health and also to start working part time as a mental health nurse. I’m also looking forward to improving my skills in mental health field doing endorsement and incentive programs which are approved by the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses (ACMHN), which are available online (ACMHN 2009). My ultimate goal is to become a mental health nurse practitioner. The main goal of working part time while doing my postgraduate studies is to improve my communication skills, medication knowledge, gain team work experience and to develop my confidence. My over all intension is to expand an array of abilities which will help me to follow career which I love to do in my life.
