NR452 Career Planning

***I am a nursing student that graduates in March with a BSN in nursing. This paper needs to come from that standpoint. (THE RUBRIC HAS TO BE FOLLOWED PLEASE SEE UPLOADED ATTACHMENT)

I already have my BLS (required by my school), PALS (offered from my school) and ACLS certification (got it done because i wanted it on my resume). Therefore, this paper is a way to elaborate on my future plans. The specialty that I would love to work in is in the intensive care unit (ICU), so that would be my goal. So the proper steps in achieving that goal need to be researched and listed as there are several new graduate residency programs within these hospitals that hire newly graduated students. You need to list Cleveland Clinic in Weston, FL as well as Memorial West Hospital in Pembroke Pines, FL and Memorial Reginal hospital are my three prospective hospitals that I plan on applying to.***
