NURS FPX 6103 Assessment 4 Creating a Professional Development Plan Reflection

I have the capacity to meet the goals of promoting critical thinking among nurses, exposing the students to problem-oriented sessions, and inspiring knowledge on health management plans. Through the completion of the MSN program, I will have acquired the competencies required to achieve the goal of promoting critical thinking and designing problem-oriented sessions with students. With the income from my current practice, I believe I will be able to afford the professional certifications needed to be competitive as a nurse educator, which will catapult me to the institutions and environments where I can commence my practice as an educator and achieve the goals. Some of the gaps that I have in the achievement of the goals include my dearth of experience in teaching adults and limited knowledge in public health education. I will seek to address these gaps by practicing teaching in adult learning programs and participating in the public health initiatives that the facility with which I work currently conducts.
