“Being a leader in nursing means being forward thinking. Obtaining my doctorate would allow me to be prepared for the many roles in nursing at a time when the nursing landscape is shifting. My second reason to enroll stemmed from a passion that has evolved to improve practice and improve outcomes in an organization and in nursing as a whole whether through an academic position or a healthcare administration position. My current goal is to attain a faculty position where I can help develop and prepare nurses to help advance the practice of nursing.
