For myself:

2. I need to gain a new perspective on nursing as a whole so that I can approach it with a fresh mind/outlook.

3. Cont my weight loss journey.

4. Change my overall attitude towards stressors in my life and establish better-coping skills.

So...how about you??

Wow - I'm so impressed. I always knew nurses were organized and goal-driven but you all have set the bar high!

Save more money, spend less.

Travel somewhere to escape work for at least a week.

Those kind of contradict each other dont they?

And continue my therapy, because it is making a difference.

Well, my birthday just passed on the 31st of December & I can't believe I turned 35. I'm grateful for it; however, I feel as if I haven't accomplished anything. Well, I received my Bachelors of Science in Respiratory this past May. I have been an RT for over 2 years now, but I want & need more opportunities. I have been looking into AA & PA programs, but nursing has ALWAYS been in the back of my mind. So, my goals for 2018 is:

1.) Figure out if I'm going to complete my nursing degree or PA degree

2.) Accept the fact that my oldest is graduating in the next few months

3.) Lose weight

4.) Be happy

5.) ...and just LIVE, LOVE, & LAUGH

My goals for 2018:

- get into shape again. I had shoulder surgery in summer and cleared for exercise. Would like to go back to fitness kickboxing or such but have to start off more gentle...

- continue my studies in a PhD program.

- gaining clarity over my now part time job - I am unsure how this will work out given that at some point I will have to focus on study related things...

- some traveling if I can fit it in...

I have not yet written down my goals for the year so I am happy to have stumbled upon this thread!

My goals are

- Improve my attitude. Allow myself to let go of negativity, to remain calm and collected in difficult situations. To "rewire" my brain, so to speak.

- I accepted a position as Clinical Leader on my intermediate care unit. I want to really focus on my developing my leadership and mentoring skills.

- Focus on my health more as I went from being very fit/health conscious to incredibly lax and lazy in 2017. This means adhering to a [flexible] workout routine and choosing more FRESH food options, without overdoing it/becoming too restrictive.

- Indulge myself in my artistic hobbies and not let my love for this fall to the wayside.

- Make more effort in family relations.

- Finally get my cat to the vet

- Travel more!

- Pay off the remainder of my student loan debt (almost there!) and invest more

My goal for 2018:

1. Start my MSN - FNP program. Actually I will start my program in one week.

2. Eat more healthy and exercise more. This is my resolution for this year.

3. Read more books since I can't travel much this year due to working and studying.

4. Spend more time with my family and girlfriend. It is tough to find the balance with work and school, but I will try my best.

That is about all.
