During a job interview the nurse manager asks, "What are your short-term goals?" Which statement by the applicant addresses this question?
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."

Rationale 1: Becoming a nurse anesthetist in 10 years is a long-term goal.
Rationale 2: Being available to come in for extra shifts is not measurable and is not a goal. A short-term goal statement would be, "I hope to work at least three extra shifts each month."
Rationale 3: Going on a mission trip is a short-term goal because it involves a time frame of the next 6 months to a year.
Rationale 4: Getting a job and moving on with life are not goals. A short-term goal statement would be, "I want to work and save $5,000 in the next year."
