Developing an Academic and Professional Network

Week 1 | Part 1: Developing an 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.

For more than four entries repeat the items below with details of your additional network member(s) in the ‘ADDITIONAL NETWORK MEMBERS’ section.Please fill out the notes section on the 4 individuals on how they can help me succeed in the Master’s Program for the Nurse Practitioner. Each notes section needs 7 to 10 sentences on each person. I gave an example in the first network name on how it should be done.
