NURS 6003 Discussion Post an Explanation of at Least Two Strategies for Including Academic Activities and Accomplishments into your Professional Development Goals
In the realm of marketing, a successful branding strategy is one of the most important contributors to organizational success. A solid branding strategy can help add visibility and credibility to a company’s products.
Similarly, nurse-scholars can build a personal brand to add visibility and credibility to their work. You can begin building your brand by developing and maintaining an academic portfolio.
