Student creates a table with short-term goals (1-2 years), 3 intermediate-term goals (3-5 years), and 3 long-term goals (6-10 years) related to her or his career path as a nurse practitioner
Short-Term Goals
Intermediate Goals
Long-Term Goals
Become a certified board member
Begin prospecting and obtaining relevant job experience within my field.
Engage in prominent research and establish a brand within the industry
Selection of patient population and look to evaluate potential employers
Join and hold leadership positions within a professional organization within the nursing profession
Look to give back to the community and other students in the form of mentorships and professional help
Identify and foster a relationship with a mentor
Continue to establish and grow my professional contacts within the industry
Look to teach other students on a part-time basis in an academic setting
Student includes at least two strategies for how he or she will meet each goal and at least one objective measure that will evaluate success
As it relates to specific strategies, the short-term goals will be heavily influenced through communication and leveraging the schools professional development tools. Here, my first strategy will look to identify a position in which I can best use my skills, abilities and passion to deliver value added serves to patients. By first selecting my specific population, I can ensure that I am better able to network within the given field. Once I use this strategy to select a patient population, I will then look for employers and in particularly individuals that I admire within the industry. Through this identification, I aim to develop a relationship of mentorship that will last throughout my career. Finally, after the first goals have been met, I will look to become a certified board member to improve my confidence as a nurse practitioner. Here, time management will be critical and thus my strategy will be involved dedicated a few hours each day to study related specifically to the exam (Catalano, 2015).
For intermediate goals, the strategy is very similar to the short-term goals. Here, I will look to leverage my research conducted in my first few years to manifest my intermediate goals. I will look to...…conducted by McCauley, roughly 14% of nurses hold a DNP degree. Salary ranges for those graduating with a DNP vary but most receive roughly $94,000 to $102,000 in base salary (McCauley, 2020).
As it relates to the future state of the DNP, higher demand is projected due to the complexities involved with the healthcare system overall. Developed countries are now grappling with rising healthcare costs, combined with suboptimal health outcomes. Nearly 30% of Americans are considered obese giving rise to an influx of healthcare related issues. Likewise, the rise of innovations such as Telehealth and Telemedicine are fundamentally changing the manner in which healthcare is administered. As result, the DNP is needed to help usher in the next wave of healthcare leaders who can properly address and solve many of these pending issues. As a future leader, I believe the DNP will provide me with the skills necessary to impact the change I envision for the future. I hope to help solve many of the healthcare related issues the world faces. As noted in my earlier response, I also aim to develop and cultivate…

DNP-prepared nurse, there is likelihood of encountering several different methods of disseminating the findings and implications of an evidence-based project. The existence of varying methods for presentation of findings and implications of an evident-based project is fueled by the unique benefits of each method. Therefore, the DNP-nurse should be careful when choosing his/her method of presenting findings and implications through thorough analysis and consideration of the unique benefits of
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) (2006), highlights the role of the nurse as an advocate for the patient on a level that goes beyond the individual care that the patient receives. DNP Essentials underscores the role of the nurse as a leader with a responsibility to help policymakers make good decisions about healthcare that will have a positive effect on patient outcomes (AACN, 2006). These essentials are
DNP Assessment: A Self-Reflective Overview Q1: Integration and Application In terms of the direct application of what I have learned over the course of my DNP studies, I feel I have grown in my ability to systematically apply nursing theory to my everyday practice. A good example of this is the concept of self-care. Like many nurses, encouraging patient self-care has been a priority, given there is a limited extent to which
The provision of healthcare requires patience, compassion and dedication. In addition to possessing these qualities and desiring to share them with those in the greatest need, I am well-suited for the emotional, practical and educational rigors of a distinctly challenging occupation. Though I am driven by professional ambition, academic achievement and a degree of healthcare experience, I am also inspired by the deeply personal interest in helping others. I believe
Over the course of the practicum, I hope to enhance my knowledge, the first level of Bloom’s Taxonomy of knowledge (1999), of how to communicate with patients from different cultural contexts in a more effective fashion. As noted in the DNP essential regarding the scientific underpinnings of practice, biological, psychological, and social factors must all be integrated into evidence-based analysis. Specific patient groups, according to the scientific literature, may face
DNP PROJECT Final Project PlanThe proposed project seeks to address the high incidence of medication errors at the clinical site by implementing a mandatory medication safety education for clinical staff. The incidence of medication errors at the facility has risen significantly over the past year, resulting in preventable injury, death, and reputational issues. This text presents the final translation action plan to start off the implementation phase. It outlines the
