Nursing Self Assessment Report

On the Utica College career services website under FOCUS I completed multiple self-assessments. The first part of the self-assessment was under the category career readiness. One of the assessments was on my career planning status. I have realized that I have done very little career exploration. On that part of the assessment I scored a 1.83. A 1 is not prepared, a 3 is more prepared, and a 5 is very prepared. Another part of the assessment was career planning satisfaction. I scored a 2.83 on this section. The final section was titled, self-assessment. I scored a 3.33 on this section. For my self-assessment and career planning satisfaction I had a medium score. This score indicates that I need to stay more actively involved in my career planning
The description of social was “People in the social category prefer to work with others. They tend to be highly verbal, express themselves well, and get along well in groups. Social types typically prefer the team approach to problem solving. People in the social category often describe themselves as cooperative, friendly, and understanding. They generally enjoy teaching, caring for others, volunteering, mediating disputes, meeting new people, and working in groups.” This is a perfect description of some of the aspects I believe are part of being a nurse. When I scrolled down after this assessment some of the suggested careers was nurse practitioner, school nurse, and nursing professor. Seeing these results are reassuring knowing nursing is the career I intend to pursue. Another assessment I took was a skills assessment. I had to choose my top 3 skills they were helping: actively looking for ways to help people, listening: paying attention to what other people are saying and taking time to understand the points being made, and social perceptiveness: being aware of the reactions of others, and understanding why they react the way they do.
