April 28, 2023 Personal Development Plan
The University of Iowa’s nursing program has allowed me to grow and learn as a nurse but also contributed to my personal development leading me to who I am today. When applying for colleges, I was very undecided about what I wanted to do with my life but everyone always said to be a nurse and I love helping people so it made sense.

I feel confident that this program has set me up to be a successful nurse and showed us how much we can do with our University of Iowa education. Along with becoming nurses, this program also encourages us to continue growing by furthering our education and obtaining certifications. Personally, I have thought about looking further into certifications depending on my first job.

I just completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and look forward to exploring nursing theory, evidence-based practice and leadership even further in the advance practice curriculum. I am pursuing family nurse practitioner because it will allow me to be more versatile in my nursing skills and serve a larger patient population.

I have been granted an opportunity to advance my career and I am more than ready to take on the added responsibilities and handle treatment plans autonomously, as well as learning additional skills such as diagnosing and prescribing medications. By obtaining my graduate level education my clinical judgment would be enhanced to improve safety, quality of care and patient outcomes substantially.
