Discussion: Networking Opportunities
In this module, you start building the foundation for your academic and professional success. Your journey begins with a vision that includes your definition of success. Your vision might differ from those of your colleagues, but this doesn’t mean you have to take these initial steps alone.

Members of your new academic community, such as faculty, support teams, and fellow students, can also be helpful. Current practitioners and other professionals can help clarify your vision.
This Module’s Discussion asks you to consider how the Walden mission and vision as well as the College of Nursing’s mission and vision apply to your professional and academic goals.

Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network
When was the last time you read Meditation XVII of John Donne’s Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions?
Unless you are a student of seventeeth-century poetry, you may not be all that familiar with this piece. However, you may be much more familiar with one of its well-known phrases: “No man is an island…”NURS 6003/NURS 6003A/NURS 6003F/NRSE 6003C/NURS 6003N/NURS 6003C: Transition to Graduate Study for Nursing.
As you begin your journey toward achieving your academic and professional goals, you have a great opportunity to network with academics and professionals who can help ensure you do not travel alone. This network can help to clarify your own vision for success and can help guide you now and in the future. To paraphrase Donne, no one is an island.

- Consider individuals, departments, teams, and/or resources within Walden University and within your profession that you believe can support your academic and professional success.
- Identify at least two academic and at least two professional individuals, colleagues, or teams that might help you succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.
