, Week 1 | Part 1: My Academic and Professional Network
I have identified and secured the participation of the following academic (at least two)
and professional (at least two) individuals and/or teams to form the basis of my network.
This network will help me to clarify my vision for success and will help guide me now
and in the future.
Directions: Complete the information below for each member of your network. For more
than four entries repeat the items below with details of your additional network
member(s) in the ‘ADDITIONAL NETWORK MEMBERS’ section.
NETWORK MEMBER 1
Name: N/A
Title: N/A
Organization: Houston Area Nurse Practitioners (HANP)
Academic or Professional: Professional
Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success
in the MSN program and as a practicing nurse: This organization is a no brainer
since it is local for me and attending events would not be an issue. This organization is
committed to professional collaboration and education. This organization would be very
helpful for local networking with other NPs in the greater Houston area. It is a great
resource for helping NPs stay up to date with local legislation.
