How to reach personal success and goals. My wish and determination as a doctoral student with Capella University, is to gain the knowledge of the studies. I want to work in the field that I have studied for over seven years. I want to walk in confident from the degree that I have earned and of course earn more money. The first goal is to beat cancer one more time, as this is the third attack. Hopefully, I do not have to take chemo again. Chemo seems to weaken my body each time. However, I know will beat cancer again. I am determined to become a success and known as Dr. Ruffin Johnson. I will hopefully one day walk in the room and everyone in the room stand up to greet me by referring to me as hello Dr. Ruffin Johnson. Society today drives …show more content…

To win the battle mentioned above I must first conquer the most difficult task of a healthier life. I can control cancer, and I can control what I eat, or drink. There are unhealthy things that will be modified from my life, and then I will be able to reach all the goals that will make me feel successful.

Here are my goals for the next two years: Quit smoking, eat better, exercise, gain knowledge from this coursework, improve on self-confidence, improve organizational skills, gain better employment, and remove all weaknesses. According to this article study, there was conflict between goal progress and interest (Downie et al., 2006). As an habitual procrastinator I really can relate to this study, but there is hope for …show more content…

I really hate when I go to a job and the entire family work there, the mama, daddy, sister, brother, cousin and aunt. Immediately I do not want to work for the company, unless it is a family owned business. I must say that I have also had opportunities like this, but it was not family. It was people who I had built friendly relationships with in the past, met them along the way and unknowingly applied at their

Focus for PHE and Preventive Practice Based on the PHE tool used, it was identified that the patient is a longtime smoker and smokes 2-15 cigarettes per day. Although it is beyond standard practice in the CRU, this became the focus for this patient. Specific Actions Taken Due to the patient’s history of cancer, smoking cessation was discussed with the patient. Evidence-Based Nursing Interventions Nurses working in oncology are in a unique position to help patients quit smoking during a time when motivation is usually higher and patients are more willing to quit (Cooley, Sipples, Murphy, and Sarna, 2008).
