FIVE YEAR GOAL STATEMENT
I hope to continue to be able to explore various areas of medicine beyond even the ones I have
Practiced in thus far. I would like to eventually go back to school to get my DNP. I would really
Like to be able to participate in research in the future. And one of my ultimate goals would be to
Teach both clinically and in the classroom setting, eventually hopefully on a full time basis .
I have been able to be a preceptor to multiple NP students in the last five years which has really shown m e the value and the integrity in being able to teach others in the field of
Nursing the amazing power of being an RN, a mentor and most importantly a valuable and honest health care provider dedicated to improving standards of care in Medicine and nursing alike
