Title of Learning: SWOT ANALYSIS AND SMART OBJECTIVES
Time: AM/PM

In this study, I understood SWOT analysis as a formation or means which seeks to recognise the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats contained in a project or organisation.

I understood It’s a structure that will help me identify my strengths to build on and my weakness to work on it.

Strengths and weaknesses are usually considered internal, while opportunities and threats are usually considered external. The degree to which my internal strengths match with its external opportunities is known as its strategic fit.

While the SMART objective is a method used to assess and formulate objectives so that they are clear. But also, attainable and measurable.

The acronym SMART represents five criteria that can be applied to ensure that a goal is well defined:

SPECIFIC : The objective must be clear and precise, with no room for ambiguity.

MEASUREABLE: In addition to being specific in my goals, I need to be able to quantify my data or indicate where I am progressing towards my goal.

ACHIVEABLE: It’s important to look at my end objectives and plan out goals that are within realistic capabilities.

REALISTIC: Also, I must make sure my goals are relevant to my patients.

TIMELY: I must set a timeframe for my goals.

As a Nursing Associate I must get my objectives to be Smart, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound as I build up on my strength and work on my weakness.
