...of nursing and provide a basis for nursing activities. It endorses ethical values we hold as basic and bases our beliefs in theory. Nursing philosophy is based on both professional organization and individual definitions. Many factors both intrinsically and extrinsically influence one’s personal perceptions of the great profession called nursing. Every nurse is accountable for maintaining her own knowledge and education after completion of a nursing program. With a focus on personal professional growth that intellectually stimulates and promotes individual autonomy with her given specialty of practice, a nurse can greatly improve her self-confidence and professional motivation, thus providing a firm foundation on which to base her nursing judgment. Nursing Philosophy One strategy nurses can use to affirm that their practice is in harmony with their value system is to write a personal philosophy statement. This might be general in nature, such as a philosophy that relates to life values; it could be a philosophy statement related to beliefs about the profession of nursing; or it might be a philosophy specific to school nursing. In each case, this activity will encourage nurses to clarify their values and then examine how their philosophy fits with their professional practice. Articulating a philosophy statement is an intellectual activity that requires careful thought, because values need to be identified, clarified, and prioritized. As the profession of nursing is dealing...

...Professional Career Action Plan Kara Jenkins HCS/449 January 2, 2015 Instructor: Michael Jones Professional Career Action Plan It is agreed upon by many that the pathway to achieving success involves the establishment of goals. Through this paper I will outline my professional goals and the job I would like to obtain in the health care field. I will also address skills that I have currently acquired and skills that I would like to acquire and skills that I need to change or alter. In closing I will review my plan to achieve these goals, I will identify the organization(s) that will help me achieve these goals, and I will identify how a career action plan outline will benefit my goals. The key to setting career goals begins with having a clear vision of the end state you are trying to achieve. This needs to occur before you can take actions to reach that goal. With that being stated, developing a vision statement for your career path is the first step in reaching your career goals ("Berkeley HR", 2015). My personal vision statement is to become a human resources manager, but not to just become a human resources manager. I want to become a manager with integrity, trust and respect for all persons that I encounter. I also want to be an encourager and one who empowers my staff to the greatest extent possible. Once I have clearly defined my vision statement, I must then give serious consideration to how I plan to make that vision a reality. In setting my goals...

...My Approach to Writing I have three educational goals of this course. I want to gain a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. My next goal would be to get a job within my field such as a Public Relations Specialist or an Office Administrator. My third goal of this course is to pursue my education to a master’s degree gaining even more knowledge about my field. In expect to use writing in my university career writing reports and essays, summarizing, and researching. In my professional life writing plays a major role especially in business. Business fields such as marketing, finance, and research need excellent writing skills to properly convey ideas and concepts. Types of writing in professional careers include resumes, company communications, emails, presentations, reports and visual aids. Professionals use factual statements, evidence and reasons for statements they made, which encourages readers to agree with them. Keeping a journal since junior high trained me to be more observant. Instead of paying attention to the negative side of things I pay attention to the positive side. Have you ever lost train of thought? My memory is improved by writing down my ideas in my journal. In my personal life writing also helps me express my thoughts. Sometimes I write down things from a lesson in my journal to help write more detailed statements. In writing an academic paper my goals are to write a paper that will be acceptable. Some papers are poorly written, which makes it harder...

...These pages were downloaded from Writing Personal Statements Online, available at https://www.e-education.psu.edu/writingpersonalstatementsonline/ Short Personal Statement by a Geology Student Growing up in Canada with a life-long fascination for Canadian geography, I have always been interested in returning to the country. Although my family moved to the US before I entered high school, I have always kept my eyes turned north, especially in recent years as I began to read journal articles about research conducted on John Evans Glacier, located about 80° N latitude. Graduating next semester with a B.S. in computer science and engineering and a minor in geographic information systems, I am interested in attending the University of Alberta for graduate study. Geographic information systems (GIS) is a field especially suited to investigating spatial patterns, modeling diverse scenarios, and overlaying spatial data. This semester, in my advanced GIS course, Spatial Data Structures and Algorithms, I am part of a team developing a temporal database and program for tracing historical trading data. My computer science skills have also been put to use in two summer internship projects, where I acquired proficiency with using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) technology, now favored by NASA in its current 10-year study of Greenland and changes in the ice cap extent. Through my coursework and project experience, I have also accrued skills...

...Personal Responsibility Jamie Pierce GEN/200 September 3, 2013 Paul Hamel Personal Responsibility and College Success “If education for personal and social responsibility is to occur in college other than by chance, then such an agenda must pervade the institutional culture, and the entire faculty and administration must be committed to it.” (Hersh & Schneider, 2005, p. 12). That quote holds a lot of credence towards this statement; while we have to practice Personal Responsibility for it to be useful, the relationship between personal responsibility in life, and college success is undeniable. Personal Responsibility holds us accountable for our actions, and gives us the intestinal fortitude to accept the consequences for those actions. With that being said, Personal Responsibility is necessary to implement into our lives for actions and decisions we make every single day. Whether we are at school, work, or at home setting examples for our children to follow, Personal Responsibility is the core value we have the power to apply directly affecting those around us, as well as our successes, failures, and goals. Once we have embraced Personal Responsibility, we will experience a surplus of personal and professional growth in all aspects of our lives. Moreover, accepting responsibility for our actions will earn respect from our peers and superiors that holds credence for our reputation and positions of increased responsibility.

...of conduct, which is important because all business should provide the employees with the ethical standards and disciplinary actions that are used when not abiding by the code of ethics (Sheahan, 1999-2013).

A mission that acquires more dimensions as I learn more of what nursing entails. Experiences and Decisions My experiences have taught me the wisdom of living my life in a manner that provides me with the things that give my life meaning. Experience has taught me to make decisions based upon my values. Challenges Life presents challenges that require either creating a way to change the circumstances that present themselves or adapting to those circumstances.

Direction I have moved towards different careers based upon my natural talents and inclinations, but found that they left me unsatisfied.
