The prompt, in the program’s own words

The application gives you a general prompt for a professional goals statement. Your statement should be an academic essay answering two questions: - Which advanced nursing role do you want to pursue and why; and, - Ultimately, in what type of setting do you wish to practice and/or population do you wish to focus on? This essay is not a creative writing assignment or an appeal to emotion; it is your opportunity to tell the Selection Committee your understanding of the role and scope of practice; why you are focusing on this particular population; your future nursing career plans; and why you will be successful in this rigorous online program. Your statement should be in APA 7th Edition style and should be no more than three pages in length, citing the AACN Essentials document and/or APRN Consensus Model, where appropriate.
