SOLUTION
- Share your goals for future practice in either nursing professional development or academic nursing education.
As a future academic nurse educator, one of the goals I have for my future practice is to promote the ability of aspiring nurses to think critically about their practice and how they can make it more effective. A nursing educator is a person who educates nurses about their roles in the healthcare delivery system (GlobalHealth, 2020). A nurse educator also teaches nurses how to improve communication skills with patients and other healthcare professionals. To do this, it is essential that I first understand what nurses are struggling with. After understanding their needs better, I can start suggesting strategies in their practice to help them develop critical thinking skills. I believe this is an essential goal because it will help me become better at providing nurses with the support they need when they need it most. This will also allow me to show them how much they can improve through education and hard work, which many people struggle with today because there are so many distractions, from technology to social media posts. Another goal for me as a nurse educator would be to help aspiring nurses understand how healthcare works to make better decisions about their own healthcare needs and those of others who might be suffering from similar conditions or diseases.
