Often decisions are not so easily inspired. Perhaps you discovered this when choosing
a specialty within the MSN program. This decision is a critical part of your plan for
success, and you no doubt want to get it right. This is yet another area where your

informed choice.
To Prepare:
• Reflect on your decision to pursue a specialty within the MSN program, including your
