To create a balance between school, life, and work, one focused on the task they have at hand and not worry about any of their studies while spending quality time with family too. Set a schedule to meet the expectations and get an organized life. Planning segments of all the required activities in one’s life ensure exercising balance between study, family, and work. Through the involvement of activities to maintain physical fitness while staying motivated throughout any of the programs, success is guaranteed at work as a professional nurse and in coursework. Understanding self-care strategies that will boost energy and help in the management of stress levels. Therefore, after the application of management and planning strategies to put life events into an expected manner, results will be expected. The results however are dependent on the success of applied strategies.
Achieving SMART goals while managing course work and professionalism have to be set out through reflective means and in the identification of balance to reduce stress levels in the vent of work. A positive change will be impacted after striking a balance between the two; work and study. Through this energy is maintained to be able to handle all tasks equally and meet set goals and expectations of each in timely and specific times without having to be stressed (Ramos & Galleto,2020). Stress comes in when one cannot account for different life responsibilities which must be undertaken both within the same time frame to ensure life goes on well. The goal is to ensure to involve self-awareness strategies to help increase energy to be used in coursework and that at work. This is why a positive change is expected with the application of set strategies.
Availability of progress towards my SMART goals can be predicted through the processes strategized in between to ensure execution of goals. The common strategies and rules used towards meeting goals are setting specific ones, finding the connections, and meeting them whin specific time frames. The set goals must be measurable in that they can be accounted for when the need arises. The goal is to improve on-course final grades while attending to professional needs. This can be done by utilizing available resources from the university, through the setting of realistic goals. Each Sunday will be dedicated to the listing of readings as well as scheduling specific times to meet the target to complete the assignments per unit. Ticking off the read parts will be done after completion. I shall do self-assessment tests each Thursday to test the understanding of previous topics. I shall also plan to visit the instructor for additional coursework materials to access additional coursework for readings. To strike a balance in my profession I plan to be attending group meetings and workshops which are set out every Saturday. Through the continuous practice of the set objectives, I shall accomplish the goal by the final examinations period to pass. Additionally, the other strategy to pass my final examination as well as take part in my profession as a nurse is to practice all past papers each day and keep track of progress in terms of years and hence passing.
