Reflection Question 1: In 100 – 125 words, please respond to the following prompt:   In order to achieve the goals in your purpose plan, you will need to employ self-management and self-leadership strategies. What self-management and self-leadership strategies do you plan on using, and how will you use them?  

Self-Management and Self-Leadership are two main major strategies for achieving my goal which gets a BSN Nursing degree. Studying nursing is a challenging yet rewarding journey that requires dedication, discipline, and effective strategies for success. The complexity of the coursework, the hands-on clinical experiences, and the emotional demands of the profession call for both strong self-management and self-leadership.  One of the most critical self-management strategies I plan to implement is effective time management. Nursing school involves a heavy workload, including lectures, clinical practice, exams, and assignments. To manage these demands, I will create a weekly schedule that breaks down my tasks into smaller, manageable goals. By using a planner or digital app, I can set specific times for studying, attending classes, completing assignments, and reviewing materials for exams. This will help me avoid procrastination and ensure that I stay on top of my responsibilities. Another self-leadership strategy I will use is setting the correct goal. For instance, I may set a goal to achieve a certain grade in a challenging course or to master a specific clinical skill by the end of the semester. By setting goals that are realistic and attainable, I can track my progress and stay motivated to achieve my desired outcomes. Studying nursing requires a combination of strong self-management and self-leadership strategies to navigate the academic and emotional demands of the program.
