NURSING LEADERSHIP
Goals for Transition to Professional Nursing Practice
Where am I?
Presently I am working as a telemetry nurse in a community hospital and is well-
accustomed with high-tech equipment for measuring life signs of patients, dispense medicine
and even interact with the patients. In the past, I have graduated as a Registered Nurse from
the community college and also worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse for five years. There
are other clinical and educational experiences that I have gained over the years that has
helped me develop professional skills. I would like to use these skills and future opportunities
to achieve my future career goals. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate my professional
skills through a SWOT table to determine my success in achieving my career goals.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths Weaknesses
 Highly-skilled clinical experience.
 Graduated as a registered nurse from
a community college.
 Five years' experience as a licensed
practical nurse.
 Worked in long term care and acute
care setting.
 Experienced in high-tech equipment
as presently working as a telemetry
nurse (Mitchell et al., 2014).
 Experienced in working in the falls
community of the hospital and for
the community outreach of the
church.
 Does not have a bachelor degree or
BSN that is required for future
career goals.
 Not good with managing other
junior nurses and hence not a good
team member.
 Being too much emotionally
attached to patients hamper
professional work.
 Lack of any proper planning to
achieve future clinical and
educational goals.
 Lack of time management skills
which is a barrier in achieving
professional goals.
Opportunities Threats
 Due to the immense amount of
experience in the healthcare field, it
is fairly easy to pursue a career of
choice (Maslach & Leiter, 2016).
 A lack of action plan and timeframe
would result in failure to achieve
future goals.
 Does not have enough funding
