“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page." - Saint Augustine ”The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust
What the Future Holds for Me:
My future plans include pursuing a career as an ICU nurse, continuing to travel, and applying to graduate school. My educational plan is to continue my nursing education at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh College of Nursing to enhance my abilities as a scholarly nurse leader and advance the profession of nursing in a doctoral role. My primary career goal as a family nurse practitioner includes focusing on an upstream approach in the care of my patients. My second career goal is to eventually become a nurse educator. As of now, I have little desire to be a lecturer, but I see myself being a clinical professor. Educating nursing students at the bedside would allow me to see that spark of excitement as students connect nursing theory to their practice.
