Success Narrative

Who I Am Now

My name is Marjacha Mbah Christina. Currently, I work as a respiratory nurse, having acquired an associate degree in nursing a while back. I was previously a certified nursing assistant (CNA). I am a hardworking individual who is determined in everything I do. Being quite outgoing, I easily form bonds with those around me. I am a strong believer in teamwork and pursue collaboration and cooperation with my colleagues in all possible areas within the workplace. I will also highlight several professional goals I have and outline measures I intend to pursue to achieve those goals.

My Goals

One of my long-term goals is to balance my personal life and my professional life. Striking a balance between these two aspects of my life is very important as a nursing practitioner. Additionally, achieving this balance in my life ensures that no responsibilities are ignored while also facilitating my growth and development as an all-rounded individual in all aspects of life.

Another long-term goal I hope to achieve is to obtain a higher management position. I want to be in a position of leadership where I can lead my colleagues to achieve set goals and objectives. Being in a management position is also important as it confers the power to make and influence health policies to improve the overall safety and quality of healthcare.

Improving my competency level within my area of specialization is the third objective I hope to achieve. Familiarizing myself with procedures, protocols, and other information within my area of specialization is key. Learning and embracing new trends and protocols is important. Accordingly, all this translates to improved quality of health care and, consequently, improved patient safety and satisfaction.

 How I Will Get There

Striking a balance between my professional and personal life entails having and adhering to a strict schedule. This schedule should clearly outline all duties, enabling me to plan adequately. Setting aside time for my family, friends, and other hobbies I enjoy is also important. It means that I do not spend all my time at the workplace and that I am also capable of thriving socially. Having a clearly written down schedule within the next two months is important as it will allow me to plan all my activities and set aside adequate time for my family and friends. The shortage of employees forcing us to work extra hours may hinder this goal as it may disrupt my already planned schedule.

Achieving a management or leadership position can be achieved by furthering my education. Earning a BSN or post-graduate degree while also accumulating several years of experience puts me in a suitable position to be in charge. Widening my social circle also increases the chance of interacting with various people who can assist me in my journey to attaining a leadership position. I aim to enroll back in school so as to further my education and put myself in a better place to be considered for a management position. The high cost and lack of adequate time due to various responsibilities may hinder me from furthering my education. However, this shall not deter me.

Improving my competency level entails practicing any procedures that I may not be comfortable with to the point that I become almost perfect. Attending workshops and other forums also provides an avenue to learn new skills and acquire new knowledge (Di Mario & La Torre, 2021). I plan to start attending seminars and other conferences within six months as it will allow me to improve my knowledge and skill set, consequently improving the quality of care I deliver. Time may prove a hindrance, but I intend to remain focused to achieve my dreams.
