Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success in the MSN program and as a practicing nurse:

Notes: Dr. Kuric prides on an experience of more than 35 years in nursing as well as an advanced practitioner for over 25 years. She has also been teaching specialties in family nurse practice, emergency nursing and gerontology nursing at Walden University. Dr. Kuric has been part of my academic journey while I pursued an associate degree in nursing (ADN) earlier back. Her instructional strategies are outstanding and therefore she is quite an inspiration in building my future career. She once counseled me about the ADN program especially when I struggled in attaining the recommended scores in the sub-module units and her amazing guidance motivated me not to quit the course. Other than her academic and counseling prowess, Dr. Kuric is well-versed with the academic structure of Walden University. I therefore look upon her for further advice on how nursing environment operates within the university and I will consult her more about existing nursing programs that I can participate in to build my future career in the course of studies (Ling & Casida, 2020). With her specialty in family nursing, I anticipate to garner more insights about the profession and build confidence by reading her published articles within the university library.

One strategy I plan to employ to promote academic integrity and ethics in my work as an MSN student is to ensure the uniqueness of my academic work. When completing coursework and projects, MSN students are expected to produce original work. They demonstrate originality by citing the information sources they used to complete their tasks and projects (Pandit & Gite, 2020). Furthermore, students check the originality of their work using databases such as Turnitin to ensure that it is not plagiarized. It safeguards academic integrity.

The other strategy that I will adopt to ensure integrity and ethics in my academic work as a student of the MSN program is reading and understanding all the course and syllabus requirements. I will strive to understand the accepted level of academic performance that is required of the MSN students. I will also strive to achieve to the best level of academic standards that are stated in the institution (Bultas et al., 2017). I will also ensure that I seek assistance from my course mates and instructors on the issues that I do not understand, as it pertains coursework and syllabus of the MSN program.
