By year ten, my goal is to have a balanced professional and personal life. I will use my skills as a nurse to evaluate my priorities and make the needed changes accordingly. Work–life balance (WLB) refers to harmony between work and non-work aspects of life and is an important concept for workers to continue to work healthily and for the sustainability of organizations (Fukuzaki et al., 2021).  Continuing in the role as nurse educator with a focus on community health is the heart of my nursing practice. Building academic-community partnerships is a great opportunity to fulfil community needs and expose student nurses to a diverse patient population. Nurse educators are responsible for preparing future nurses for community-based practice by instilling moral and professional practice obligations, cultural sensitivity, and other facets of social responsibility (Halstead, 2007, p. 69).
