Objectives and Goals in Nursing Programs

Paper Summary:

This paper describes four goals and objectives of the writer that would improve her nursing practice. It describes each goal or objective and then discusses how it would be beneficial to herself as the nurse. It particularly focuses on the ability to discover innovative solutions, the ability to analyze patient issues and the ability to evaluate nursing practice at both a personal and team level.

From the Paper:

"The third goal in the training process that I believe would be effective is the goal of effectively analyzing the health care of patients through an understanding of all issues that are impacting the patient. This goal meets with Bloom's Taxonomy's focus on analysis and is imperative to the total care of patients in the nursing field. This is because each patient has the ability of being impacted by the environment outside of the health care system, support groups, financial concerns, emotional issues and cultural identity ("Nursing", n.d., sec. 1). For this reason the nurse's ability to analyze the circumstances of all patients in the obstetrical field is significant to the overall care of each individual."
