Nursing Career Plan

One of the things that I intend to be doing during the course of the next five years is to make sure that how surgical training and experience is going to be gained. The idea is to implement a goal-oriented approach towards the career (Kloster et al. 2017). The volunteering and the training are going to be playing a critical role during these next five years. As there are job restrictions at place at the moment the idea is to gain as much as clinical experience as possible (Kloster et al. 2017). The observation and the virtual classes are going to be an important element in this case. The next five years, the effort is going to be made to ensure that the much more goal-oriented approach towards career prospect is being gained (Kloster et al. 2017).

Five Year Plan in the Hindsight

Some of the broader objectives that I have in my mind when I am going to be formulating the five-year career plan are as followed.

To see myself as a major surgical nurse and to be working in the organization and environment that allows me sufficient opportunities in terms of growth and learning.

To see myself in the middle management role, as trying to opt for the managerial role during the course of the five year is something that is going to be too ambitious.

Making an effort to ensure that I expand my knowledge and expertise with the short-term certifications as well as enrolment in the master’s program so that much more detailed insight is developed about the nursing programs.

These are some of the particulars of the five-year plan in terms of the way I tend to plan my career.

Enrol in the Women and Infant Nursing Job

The first starting point in terms of my career would be to make sure that some sort of experience is gained in terms of how one is supposed to work with women, infants and children programs. It is an important element as I intend to progress through my nursing career. It would also give me insight about different situations that one is expected to face during the course of their career without having to face high pressure environment that one gets to see in hospital these days (Kloster et al. 2017). The other thing that is enrolment is going to do is that it would make sure that I am eligible for the WIC certification (Williams & Hopper, 2015). This certification is going to be an important goal in terms of the way I am supposed to gain career progression with the passage of time. Not only that, enrolment in the community healthcare program would also allow me to broaden my experience at the much extensive level (Kloster et al. 2017). The WIC certification is also going to go a long way towards ensuring that my prospects in terms of my nursing career are secured at the particular point of time (Williams & Hopper, 2015).

Getting a Government Service Job

Again, during the initial phase of my career, the idea is to make sure that I get to work in the environment that is much less intensive as compared to the hospitals but would allow me to ensure that I gain some insight with regards to the way overall development is going to be done at the particular point of time (Timby & Smith, 2016). What the government services job would do is that as I would be already having my WIC certification, it would go a long way towards making sure that I am able to take additional certifications at the particular point of time (Kloster et al. 2017). The degree that I would be having at that point of time would be Bachelors in Surgical Training and Nursing and these trainings and renumerations are going to be provide me with a decent opportunity to make sure that I am able to consolidate my market prospect at the particular point of time (Timby & Smith, 2016). That along with the ACLS, PALS and other such certifications would go a long way towards making sure that the additional qualification is going to add value (Kloster et al. 2017).

Enrolling for the master’s Program in Nursing

At the moment, there is going to be enough experience in terms of the way understanding is developed with regards to the way marketplace is supposed to be developing at the given point of time (Kloster et al. 2017). The idea is to make sure that that I should get myself enrolled in the Masters in the Surgery Program. Not only that would allow me to make sure that I have the necessary insight in terms of the way major decisions are made in terms of the way surgeries are supposed to be done, it would also go a long way towards making sure that I have complete control of the way overall things are supposed to be controlled in terms of the way nursing and surgery are going to be merging together at the gi9ven point of time (Kloster et al. 2017). The enrolment in the Master’s program is going to be one of the most critical decision in my career and the idea on my part would be to make sure that I get to enrol in such a school or institution that allows me to make sure that I have the complete insight about how the academics of the nursing and surgery are supposed to be taken care off (Rushworth & Happell, 2017). The other thing that the master’s program is going to help me with is that it would make sure that I have the technical expertise in terms of the way broader decisions are supposed to made when it comes to the surgery (Rushworth & Happell, 2017).

Becoming a Travel Nurse

Most of the experience that I have accumulated in the past is based on the premise that how relevant nursing experience is going to be developed that would integrate with the surgical training. One of the ways through which this situation can be handled is by enrolling in the travel nurse program (Rushworth & Happell, 2017). The major strengths of these program is that how it tends to ensure that the nurses and the students are being exposed to the tougher situations and at this point of my career, I would be more than comfortable to make sure that I take different situations heads on in terms of the way direction of my career is going to be determined at the particular point of time (Rushworth & Happell, 2017). What I would be doing is that I would make sure that local travel nursing facility so that the coverage in terms of the hospital that are lying in the local region can be managed in an appropriate manner (Rushworth & Happell, 2017). The other thing that I would be doing when I would be comfortable is that I would make sure that how the expansion of the travel nursing portfolio is going to be happening that would again play a major role as far as my learning transformation is supposed to shape up (Rushworth & Happell, 2017).

Becoming a Member of the Professional Organization

When the experience of the travel nursing is going to be completed, the next logical step that is needed to be taken in terms of my career is that I would make an attempt to get myself enrolled in the professional organization (Stevens & Crouch. 2018). One thing that I would make sure when I become a part of such organization is that I would make sure that the organization that I am going to be affiliation is also going to be linked in some ways with the surgical body. That integration is one of the core objectives my career (Stevens & Crouch. 2018).

Going Towards a Humanitarian Assignment

The range of experience that I have at the moment is going to go a long way towards making sure that how I am going to be able to gain some sort of professional experience. Again, during the course of my five years, the effort is about making sure that how I am going to be in the position to integrate my academic learning with my professional experience (Stevens & Crouch. 2018). What it is going to be doing is that it would also allow me to have some insight about how things are different when a nurse and the surgical assistant is linked with the professional organization (Stevens & Crouch. 2018). In that way, I would also be able to learn the language of the knowledge at the particular point of time (Stevens & Crouch. 2018). With my experience as a nurse, I feel that I would be a great asset for a humanitarian assignment. I have researched different programs, and I found a group of nurses that goes to Africa once a year for basic clinical nursing. I would like to go on one of those assignments after I feel comfortable in making quick decisions in patient care.
