Lifelong Learning for Professional Development
How these habits are and can be incorporated into your lifelong learning as a nursing professional
Kotter (2012) delineates different habits that support lifelong learning for continued growth and development. In particular, these habits are and can be integrated into my lifelong learning as a nursing professional.

How do you envision lifelong learning contributing to your growth in nursing leadership roles?
I envision lifelong learning to significantly contribute to my growth in nursing leadership roles. One of them is accountability from any negative aspects that arise from negative risk taking. In particular, as a lifelong learner, I will benefit with regard to leadership in the sense that I will be able to modestly and justly mirror on my experiences to educate myself.

Businesses are now pushing more so than ever before for schools and educators to adopt a community or learning community based approach to student education, in the hopes students will graduate with more applicable skill sets they can apply to the immediate global workplace.

The idea was
