Are there new skills to learn this year?

A list of your past accomplishments can be used as a reference point to what you are capable of doing.
Are there new ideas to implement?
If you have ideas that can possibly make a difference in nursing, new solutions to problem that you are currently facing in your place of employment, or new nursing opportunities that you want to explore but afraid to, this year may be the year to begin implementing your ideas.

A lot of times fear play a major factor in implementing new ideas, but remember fear is just false evidence that appear real. If you believe that your idea will make a difference and benefit many people, do not allow fear to rob you of the satisfaction of seeing your idea come to flourishing. Face your fears head on and determine to see your idea become a reality this year.
Are there attitudes or habits that need to change?
Old habits and attitudes have a way of holding you back. If you not address it properly, you will hinder your career plans. If you are the kind of person who has a low tolerate for change, make the resolution this year to start addressing this problem. One of the changes around us today that nurses must begin to embrace is technology. Technology is invading every areas of our lives, and for your career to continue to thrive you have to start embracing the new world of emails, blogs, webinars, teleclasses and virtual communities. Do not continue to hold on to old ways of doing things. Allow yourself to explore the new world of technology for your career advancement.
Are there new possibilities to explore?
The nursing profession offers endless opportunities to nurses; yet, there are many nurses that only dream of the possibilities and never attempt to explore them. Stop dreaming of the different type of nursing specialties that are available. If you are presently in a position that does not offer any growth, take the necessary steps this year, and get together with a career coach to help you leave your current situation and move to a more exciting position that will bring fulfillment and satisfaction.
In 2010 see yourself as the CEO of your life, and make the decision to act differently in managing your career. Make no more excuses, take actions and start taking responsibility for your nursing career. The more responsibility that you take for your life, the more content, and fulfill you will be.
