interest. I will need to grow
my knowledge on maternity
issues by reading and
keeping up to date with the
latest information.

I believe that I would benefit


from joining an organization
that focuses on maternity
nursing. This would help me to
hear other maternity nurses
opinions on the issues that we
are facing here in Hawaii or
even in the nation.

Working in the maternity unit and


gaining knowledge from my peers
will help me to grow as a nurse.
Maintaining a professional
relationship with others in the
maternity field will help me to
gain a better understanding of
how I need to function to provide
the highest quality of care.
Remaining humble and
remembering to put the patients
quality of care before anything
else is what will make me one of
the best nurses.
