Week 1 | Part 1: My Academic and Professional Network
I have identified and secured the participation of the following academic (at least two) and
professional (at least two) individuals and/or teams to form the basis of my network. This
network will help me to clarify my vision for success and will help guide me now and in the
future.
Directions: Complete the information below for each member of your network. For more than
four entries repeat the items below with details of your additional network member(s) in the
‘ADDITIONAL NETWORK MEMBERS’ section.
NETWORK MEMBER 1
Name: Samuel Gravance
Title: Registered Nurse
Organization: The Joint Commission
Academic or Professional: Academic
Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success in the
MSN program and as a practicing nurse: Samuel Gravance is a registered nurse currently
working as a professional instructor at The Joint Commission. He offers support for existing
nurses working in our hospital for the learning needs. He will be a fantastic supportive individual
for students like me who seek progression in their professions. For teaching materials, key steps,
general healthcare procedures, and other associated study aids, I can count on him.
Notes: He holds nearly 21 years of actual Critical Care and Orthopedic expertise.
NETWORK MEMBER 2
Name: Beryl taylor
Title: RN + Holder of Master of Public Health degree
Organization: National institute of Health
Academic or Professional: Professional

Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success in the
MSN program and as a practicing nurse: Beryl taylor had been my previous emergency room
nurse manager. I aspire towards her attributes in competence, and also her integrity. She is
among the few executive figures who have shown wholehearted support to health care nurses
seeking further study. She trusted in my skills, and gave me the chance of becoming an
emergency room nurse preceptor. It helped me to understand that seeking learning would
encourage me to go on with my profession.
Notes: She has more than 35 years of experience working as a RN. She had already been
working in National Institute of Health managerial positions.
NETWORK MEMBER 3
Name: Dr. Jackie Chan
Title: Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Organization: The Dartmouth Institute
Academic or Professional: Professional
Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success in the
MSN program and as a practicing nurse: Dr. Chan likes to be just a Clinical Mental Health
Registered nurse and the cause I want her to be apart from the performance with me is that I
know how good she was as an RN nurse, offering her everything to her patients and keeping
them safe and supplying them with advice about how to achieve significant progress. Her
primary objective has always been every patient's health, physical, and mental well-being. Dr.
Chan has inspired me to pursue my career because I was a mental health nurse on the pediatric
unit where Dr. Chan was the supervisor. Dr. Chan has and always will be a source of strength to
me and a real nurse to reach up and seek advice.
