Capstone: Unit 8 Discussion Board: Career Aspiration

McCrae, N., Askey‐Jones, S., & Laker, C. (2014). Merely a stepping stone? Professional identity

and career prospects following postgraduate mental health nurse training. Journal of Psychiatric

and Mental Health Nursing, 21(9), 767-773.

This article describes extensively how post graduate nursing is one of the most flexible

profession in the healthcare industry. The relevance it has to my career aspirations is that I am

able to relate to some of the career tips successes highlighted by the author. It also provides a

post graduate blueprint that will help put my nursing profession in line with the education I have

attained. I aspire to take a management position that would set my sight on many opportunities

that would help advance my career. I can achieve a goal by selecting a specialty. So, to become

a mental health specialist, I have chosen this specialty because I feel passionate about it and I

believe it will increase my knowledge in the field. Obtaining variety of certifications is another

goal which I believe I can achieve if I put in the work. Providing nursing services to people in

remote area is a goal I aspire to accomplish in collaboration with my classmates. This is a

charitable nursing career that will help to make a difference in the lives of so many people.
