( i aslo want to do this just the assistant anesthetist the Crna is way too much but i am happy to see someone else on that similar jounery goodluck to you)

Hi everyone , my name is Yvette. My career goal is to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). This aspiration aligns deeply with my personal value system, which emphasizes compassion, critical thinking, and commitment to the patient’s well-being. The pursuit of anesthesia care directly reflects these values by enabling me to provide essential care during vulnerable moments, and contribute to the patients safety, and comfort.

I envision this degree significantly enhancing my nursing practice by providing a stronger foundation in advanced assessment, critical care management, and evidenced-based practice. A baccalaureate degree equips nurses with a broader understanding of healthcare systems, leadership principles, and research methodologies, which are crucial for advanced roles like CRNA. This education will foster a more analytical, and problem-solving approach to patient care, enabling me to anticipate, and manage complex situations effectively.

Evidence supporting the transformative impact of a baccalaureate degree on nursing practice highlights its role in improving patient outcomes, and advancing the profession. Studies indicate that nurses with baccalaureate degrees often demonstrate enhanced clinical judgment, better communication skills, and a greater capacity for leadership (AACN, 2021). Furthermore, a baccalaureate education promotes a deeper understanding of research, and evidence-based practice, empowering nurses to critically evaluate, and implement the latest advancements in patient care, which is paramount for specialized roles such as CRNA (Grossenbacher, 2025).

What are your career goals?

My career goals are to finish my bachelors degree and gain more Acute care experience in the Emergency Department. Then my long-term goal is to become an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner and hopefully continue working in the ED.

How do these career goals align with your personal value system?

This career goal aligns with my personal value system by allowing me to have a broader scope of practice, giving me more autonomy, and allowing me to develop a course of care that will directly impact the patient’s overall well-being. My personal value system centers around a patient-centered approach that shows every patient compassion and respect, no matter their circumstances.

How do you envision this degree changing your nursing practice?

I envision this degree changing my nursing practice by increasing my foundational knowledge of evidence-based practices and how to evaluate the evidence in order to improve my clinical judgment for better patient care. I also envision that this degree will enhance my leadership abilities so that I can facilitate a teamwork standard with my coworkers, promoting effective patient-centered care (Professional Nursing Practice | Transitions to Professional Nursing Practice, 2015).

What evidence supports your thoughts on how your nursing practice will change with a baccalaureate degree? Cite a minimum of two sources.

The evidence I found in support that having a baccalaureate degree will improve my nursing practice is that hospitals that increase their proportion of nurses with a BSN have a significantly reduced mortality rate of patients (Lasater et al., 2021). This can be attributed to improved clinical judgement and enhanced knowledge. The enhanced knowledge gained by achieving a Baccalaureate degree is show in this study Variations in nursing baccalaureate education and 30-day inpatient surgical mortality as it shows how despite differences in curricular competencies across various nations patients have reduced adverse outcomes identifying the foundation of the degree as the pivotal factor for improving patient care versus the route of how the degree is achieved (Porat-Dahlerbruch et al., 2021).
