Assignment Problem: We are at a very exciting time, being so close to graduation and starting our new careers as family nurse practitioners. There are 2 short-term goals I've identified for myself including passing my ANCC board certification exam by the end of October, and acquiring a job in either an urgent or primary care setting. Currently, I have much to study for the board exam. Pharmacology definitely happens to be my weakest area, and is therefore a subject I will focus on heavily when studying. As mentioned in previous discussion posts, I will set aside 4 days per week (my days off from work) to study; I will also study intermittently during downtime at work. Since becoming a nurse, I've set the goal of becoming a nurse practitioner. Being in this program and preparing for my board exam have certainly placed me on the right track. As an ED nurse, I've had an interest in transitioning to an urgent care setting. One sees a variety of emergent cases that are generally not life-threatening. Urgent care is an excellent specialty, as it alleviates ED overcrowding and wait times (Coster et al., 2017). A long-term goal I've set for myself is to learn as much as possible about the urgent care area, and possibly open up my own clinic. I am very excited about the possibility of having my own business and panel of patients. This would be a goal achievable in approximately 4-6 years.
Need a response from a student nurse practitioner's point of view with a references.
