Jacob is a CRNA working in the labor and delivery department of a private for-profit hospital. He has been employed there full-time for 10 years. He currently is the lead CRNA for 5 other CRNAs that work on the unit. He has been researching DNP programs and has decided to complete an application with an online DNP program. He has an upcoming meeting with his director in a couple of weeks for which he wants to discuss he return to school and also discuss changes in nursing anesthesia practice that may impact current hospital policies and procedures ethically and legally. During his monthly meeting with the director of the unit, he decides to share his desire to pursue another degree to expand his knowledge base, make him a better leader, and help promote better health care delivery and care outcomes. He discusses reducing his hours in order to allow him time to pursue his degree. The director tells Jacob that at this time reducing his hours to accommodate his desire to return to school would not be an option. The director also tells Jacob that the changes in nursing anesthesia practice that may affect their internal policies will need to be addressed at a later meeting. After the meeting, Jacob is discouraged, feels a lack of administrative support, and now is uncomfortable in his leadership role.
