2. Be a competent, compassionate
nurse leader
Patients are the most important reason I am a
nurse. My first goal as a graduate is to become
an expert bedside nurse, providing the best care
through evidence-based technical
proficiency, patient-centered teamwork, and
therapeutic relationships.
3. Affect positive, patient-centered
change in my unit and institution.
I am dedicated to patient
advocacy, championing evidence-based
interventions for individual patients as well
as systemic support for patient
safety, satisfaction, and outcomes. I
utilize national networks as resources to
learn and share best practices.
4. Use technology to improve
healthcare efficacy and efficiency.
Electronic health records have
tremendous potential for improving
patient care while increasing
efficiency. I will advance the field
of nursing by driving the
development of robust, intuitive
clinical software.
