Week 5 | Part 5: Professional Development

OBJECTIVE

I seek to contribute to the advancement of nursing through caring for patients and developing nursing solutions. I appreciate that nursing is an evolving science that has experienced significant changes in the process of improving service efficiency and effectiveness. This has been possible because nurses took the effort to improve themselves, identifying problems and develop solutions. Similarly, I am seeking to improve myself even as I improve nursing science and practice. My contributions in caring for patients and developing nursing solutions will help in establishing the legitimacy of nursing as an important tool for improving public health and addressing existing concerns.Week 5 | Part 5: Professional Development.
