and careerexampleMy name is so ans so I have been a Registered Nurse (RN) for 7 years.
Spent most of my early nursing career in the emergency room then moving on to critical
care, post-anesthesia care unit, and now home health. Prior to becoming licensed as a RN I
was a certified nurse aide for four years. I developed nursing knowledge and a solid
platform of nursing foundations. With my history of making my way up the totem pole I am
motivated to earn my Masters in Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner.My decision to choose
Walden University was made solely based on my personal goals, vision, and home life
balance needs. Through research I found Walden University to be most valuable and
effective way to advance my career in Nursing. Walden stated in its vision, “immediate
solutions of critical societal challenges, thereby advancing the greater global good (Walden
University, 2011a).” This directly aligns with my goal to be challenged and to have a wealth
of knowledge so that I can accomplish a greater good not only for myself, but for my
patients, and community. Walden enables scholar practitioners to “build connections with
those who share similar goals (Walden University. 2011b)” providing a safety net and sense
of security.Walden’s MSN program outlines how to become a successful scholar-
practitioner. The program shows how important it is to be “leaders in their field through
scholarship, manage technology and information, and develop a lifelong commitment to
learning (Walden University 2011c).” It is import to me that I am current in any technology
and educational updates. It is reassuring to know that my higher learning institution also
strives to have a lifelong commitment in teaching. Academically, I plan to take advantage of
the opportunities offered by Walden and the MSN program.ReferencesWalden University.
