My goal and mission in nursing practice is to envision a future system that would make quality health care accessible to the different populations in the current technical advances. The system would also improve reliable health outcomes by promoting disease prevention and wellness as well as provide compassionate care across the lifespan (Higgs, 2013). The future that the committee looked up to was one that the quality of health care provision was emphasized on instead of quantity at affordable costs. Eventually, this would reduce the expenditure used in healthcare. For instance, with maximized training, nurse practitioners can practice full practice authority while offering healthcare services. However, the practice and training is limited by several barriers, such as a complex, fragmented healthcare system and a challenging transition from nursing school to practice.

In a society full of dynamic advances in technological needs, lifelong learning is a critical function for the growing scale of skill requirement. Attaining self-actualization, one the highest needs for corporate human resource, requires the extensive knowledge outside formal education. This progressive and lifelong acquisition of skills can only be achieved in a spatial consideration of individual needs in the relevant field of career (Higgs, 2013). Thus, my objective resolution develops around the growing concerns in the corporate field of engineering technology. I have assessed the critical learning needs and evaluated objective strategies relevant in the field of corporate training to meet success of highly competent skill based on lifelong learning process among personnel.

Corporate training will be ideal to me as I learn while on the job. With the nursing field continuously dynamic, constant corporate sessions helps build on the professional profile.  A learning formal strategy which includes use of tutorials can helps solve some of the gaps in creating quality personnel (Brisson, 2010). These tutorials assimilate information based on the items that need to be learnt, through discussion or even on online platform. As a professional nurse, the ability to uplift corporate competence in a dynamic environment demands that trends current trends should be addressed in a strategic platform. Healthcare providers therefore take responsibility of performance appraisal to constantly keep a board of competent engineering professionals with technological and environmental needs.
