I am most excited about starting the next phase of my life. I recently solidified the job that I have been waiting for and centering my focus in nursing school around. I have finally been able to see all the pieces start to fall into place. It is nice to see that everything we are taught in school start to come together and feel like it is finally starting to get me somewhere in life. I will celebrate this accomplishment by going on a vacation with my family and friends. 

I am most anxious about having the responsibility of a nurse. I am ready for that responsibility, but I am nervous that my judgment will get clouded in times of high stress and I want to be able to make the “best” or “right” decision for my patients in those situations. I will plan my SMART goals based on a few things one being how to prepare myself to feel most confident in my abilities by working on some of my weaknesses now. I will also stay focused on the task at hand by taking it day by day and creating a schedule for myself that includes the time I need for myself for working out, friend and family time, and rest. I learned from the ATI modules how to study and schedule my time most effectively as well as the importance of good test taking habits.
