Summary of strengths:

I have made a lot of progress in my career and profession as nurse practitioner. I acknowledged the significance of self-evaluation and ever since I have embodied the practice of regular self-evaluation as an important component of my career growth. Through my career profession I have master good corporate communication with distinct report writing skills that has enabled me to be one of the best nurses in the facilities I have worked. I have also improved my interpersonal skills significantly that has seen me take up advanced responsibilities from my seniors. I have acquired good work ethics and professionalism. As a nurse I have always maintained the need for respect for patient needs and opinions. My immediate supervisor once marveled at how I handled the case of a Jehovah witness patient who had refused blood transfusion since it was against the doctrines of her denomination. I obeyed her position but requested her to attest to that in writing so I may not be held culpable for negligence. My supervisor told me that I employed wisdom at its echelons. I am also good in clinical assessment and pharmacological support to my clients. I always work day and night to improve my relationships with my clients. A condition which yields better outcomes in patient conditions when I handle them.

Opportunities for growth:

One of the opportunities in my career as a nurse practitioner is diversity. I have always loved to diversify my knowledge and understanding about different pharmacological practices. In this sense, I have managed to improve my knowledge about differential diagnosis. I have been expanding my knowledge through continuous research about such topics which have significantly honed my understanding. I also need to develop good leadership and management practices. I believe with good administrative skills there are a lot of opportunities for vertical mobility. Effective administration calls for good knowledge and better understanding. I need to develop sound knowledge in the field of healthcare administration. I have also realized that good understanding of effective pharmacotherapy support to patients. I have had some slight challenges with prescriptions and recommendations for effective medication. I feel this will contribute to better medication to the patients under my care
