Page 1: "The Have Exercise." Make a long list all of the things you would like to have in your life. Items can be tangible, like a new car, or they can be intangible, such as a loving family or a good reputation. Then, go back and review the list and identify the 5 most important of your haves. A brand new F150 pickup truck A big 4 bedroom house with a large backyard Children in the far future A masters degree A spouse A large support system To have the rank of COL some day A new computer For healthy long life for my family A home gym A selfless reputation Effective leadership To have a lifelong mentor To have a large savings for retirement and childrens college funds To have a fulfilling job To be in the best shape of my life To have knowledge

When I review my list of things that I would like to have in my life, it seems as though the majority of it is superficial. If I had to pick five things out of this list in our from most important to least important then it would be: to get a masters degree, to have a large support system, to have a spouse, to have children, and to have a large four bedroom house with a large backyard.

Page 5: "Do You Know this Person Exercise." Identify one person who has had a very significant impact on your life. This person could be a parent, a coach, a teacher, a pastor, or someone else. Describe what it is about this person that you would like to see in your life. What traits or behaviors that characterize this person would you like to model in your life? Recently, my nursing training exposed me to Womack Army Medical Centers Emergency Department (ED). I met the charge nurse and his name was Paul Roni. I have never met someone in my life where they have significantly impacted me in such a short amount of time. My experience with Mr. Roni started of great because immediately he took me under his wing. When I first got to the ED, I felt awkward. I almost felt like I did not belong there because there were so many people and they were all moving so fast. Mr. Roni called me over to follow him. As I was following him, he would ask me questions that were relevant to the patients care. When I answered him correctly, he would ask me questions about my answer. When he questioned me, I had to stop and think why he was doing this. He made me think about why I was doing what I was doing and why it mattered. When I did not get what was going on, he would take the extra time to explain it to me and give me the opportunity to ask questions. This spoke volumes to me because as a busy ED nurse, most of the nurses did not even look at me. Let alone the charge nurse taking the extra time to explain things to me. I found passion in the way he was mentoring me. I believe it was his love of teaching and mentoring that made the profound effect on me. The extra attention that he gave me inspired me beyond words. I felt his passion for nursing spilled onto me and I knew what it felt to have a nurse who loves his or her job. It is hard because most nurses that I have run into so far are the exact opposite of Mr. Roni. From this experience, I will model the mentoring aspect in my life. A great mentor can do so much for a person. That one mentor can be the push that the individual needed to reach the greatest potential. He also challenged me to know why I am doing things. There is a stigma that nurses are not smart and they dont really know what they are doing, but Mr. Roni was the exact opposite. He could spit out an answer better and fast than a doctor could. This encourage me to always seek information and know exactly why I am doing the things I am doing. Mr. Roni is an excellent nurse, teacher, and mentor.
