Week 1 | Part 1: My Academic and Professional Network

I have identified and secured the participation of the following academic (at least two) and professional (at least two) individuals and/or teams to form the basis of my network. This network will help me to clarify my vision for success and will help guide me now and in the future.

Directions: Complete the information below for each member of your network. For more than four entries repeat the items below with details of your additional network member(s) in the ‘ADDITIONAL NETWORK MEMBERS’ section.

The nursing profession is one that requires a collective effort to steer individuals into the necessary outcomes. Nursing is changing quickly, and one individual cannot master all the changes that the profession experiences (Wofford, 2018).

Nurses need to land their dream jobs. That can only happen if the right individuals and teams surround them. A lack of a good support system, resources, and tools to advance a career only implies failures.
