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.

As a nursing student, one requires to be mentored and to have people who have already made it in academia and professional practice to look up to. These are the persons who will guide the student and point them in the right way for success. At the same time, the professional mentors will form the student’s network that guides her to achieve proper professional grounding in healthcare and in nursing as a profession (Nowell et al., 2017; Walden University, n.d.).

This part presents four of these important people who will be instrumental in assisting me to achieve both my academic and professional goals. They are my distinguished connections, two being academic members forming my network while the other two being professional members in my network. The academic members will guide me through my academic endeavors as a nursing student, and the other two will guide me as a professional nurse. All four will assist me with clarifying my vision for progress and will help direct me both now and later.
