Where I would like to be in Five Years

I am very satisfied with my personal goals. I am happily married of 18 years with my High School sweetheart (after we married other people first!) and we have three wonderful daughters. Their ages range 12-20-22 years. Our oldest daughter was married 1 1/2 years ago and we all "lived" through planning her wedding. My family is extremely supportive of me and whatever goals I set before me. This includes my parents and two sisters. We have an extremely close and supportive family.
Professionally, I have successfully worked as a Registered Nurse since 1984 and worked in the Emergency and Endoscopy Departments. I became the Nurse Manager six years ago of the Endoscopy Department after serving as a staff member for eleven years. While working in this role, I discovered that I have the God-given talent to lead others. I didn't have to read books or take a lot of classes to learn this, I just have always tried to treat others with respect and guide them in the way that I would like to be treated. In doing this, our department became one of the best nursing departments in the hospital with a great reputation. We are known for our outstanding staff members, no employee turnover and for the exceptional care that we deliver to our patients.
This position has opened up several opportunities for me to consider advancing in my career to lead a larger group of staff members and departments. In order to do this, I need to achieve additional education beyond my nursing license. This would be my next academic goal: to achieve a Master's degree in nursing. Presently, I have a Diploma in nursing and can "bridge" to a Master's degree program and skip achieving a Bachelor's Degree. I am interested in going to Walden University. It is an on line program that will take approximately three years to achieve.
In order to apply to this program, I need six credits of English.
With achieving a higher level of nursing degree, I will be eligible for an Administrative Director position. I have actually most recently been promoted as a Director of several departments; Endoscopy, Angiography, PreAdmission Testing, OR Holding and the PACU (Recovery Room).
This position is teaching me a lot about leading multiple departments. The challenge that has been the greatest thus far is the fact that we are building our leadership teams in this area. We have most recently promoted a staff RN to Supervisor and are interviewing for the Nurse Manager position of three of the departments.
My Administrative Director of Surgical Services is supporting me in this role and helping me prepare to eventually become an Administrative Director of Surgical Services myself. My greatest challenge is the fact that I have never worked in the Operating Room. The plan for me is to work on supporting and leading the departments that I am working with and be responsible for Leadership Development of our new leaders within our divison. I am very excited about this challenge and striving to maintain some type of stability within these departments for the staff.
I am uncertain if there will actually be a position upon the conclusion of my studies or where this will lead me. I am told that there are multiple opportunities within our Bon Secours Health System that would be qualified to apply. So, I am not quite sure where this educational achievement will lead me, but have faith that God will place me where he would like for me to work and influence others.
