A nursing student discusses short-terms goals with a nurse manager during a job interview. Which indicates the student understands what this means?
1. ?I want to become a nurse anesthetist within 10 years.?
2. ?I will be available to come in for extra shifts if needed.?
3. ?My brother and I want to go to on a mission trip in the next year.?
4. ?I want to get this job so I can move on to the next part of my life.?

Explanation: 1. Going on a mission trip is the short-term goal since it involves the next 6 months to a year time
frame. The long-term goal would be to become the nurse anesthetist within 10 years. The
statements about extra shifts and getting the job are broad and not measurable. Thus they are
not goals.
