Part 4: Finalizing the Plan
I
have considered various options for my nursing specialty, including a close
look at my selected (or currently preferred) specialty and second-preferred
specialty. I have also developed a
justification of my selected (or preferred) specialty. Lastly, I have examined
one professional organization related to my selected or preferred specialty and
considered how I can become a member of this organization.
The
results of my efforts are below.
