My career goals are continually evolving. As I get farther into my nursing education I am constantly revising my goals and rethinking my plans for the future. My experiences thus far in the nursing program at UNH have revealed to me a desire to work with children, particularly underprivileged children in either an acute care hospital or in a community health setting. I also have an interest working in emergency situations. Ideally I would like to combine these interests and work in a pediatric emercency department.
A definite long term goal that I plan on pursuing in my career is international nursing. I plan to work or volunteer in a foreign setting in an attempt to better the health conditions in a third world country.
Overall, my goal as a nurse is to be an advocate for my patients wherever I work, whether with children or adults or in America of overseas. I desire to be a trustworthy advocate who is able to deliver safe and competent nursing care.
