Personal vs Professional goals?

[lumen4]

Hi all,

I am applying to direct entry FNP programs and one wants us to include our personal and professional goals in the statement of purpose. I was just hoping to get some clarity on this. To me personal would be something like, "striving to enhance pt education in innovative ways" and professional as something like, "working at a community clinic and serving vulnerable populations"..... But my friend and I are in disagreement over this. Any help/guidance/examples would be greatly appreciated.

I would contact the admission department. They are there to help you understand the proccess not to obfoscate it. I'm sure they would be happy to help explain what the difference is.
