Personal Development Plan

Home >Nursing homework help >Personal Development Plan

The HSA department developed this class to give our students and eventual graduates the best learning experience possible to prepare you for a successful career in the health services field. By the time you get to graduation, whether that is next semester or in several years, we want you to be prepared to represent yourself and UCF in the best way possible. One thing the research shows us is that it is difficult to succeed without a plan, and this assignment (a personal development plan) is to help you develop one for yourself so that you can leave this class with something tangible and actionable (aside from your resumes, which I recommend you keep updated so that you always have a current one available). This assignment will build slightly on the SWOT analysis we did towards the beginning of the semester, but with more detail. Take ownership of your training and professional development.

· Pause and reflect! Amidst daily activities, it is easy to lose sight of longer-term goals.

· Think intentionally about your short-, mid- and long-term training and development goals.

· Identify and use resources to help you achieve your goals.

· Have open and direct dialogue with your mentor(s).

· Establish clear expectations/steps.

This paper will be 2-3 pages in APA format (no references are required). You will address the following (in a professional context) in full paragraphs divided by subheadings (no bullets or lists):

· Goals (at least 2 per time period)

· Immediate/short-term goals (within the next 6 months)

· Medium-term goals (within the next 5 years)

· Long-term goals (to achieve within 5-10 years)
