Therefore, graduating with a baccalaureate nursing degree will avail numerous career opportunities within the healthcare sector, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations (Huston, 2013). The major areas that individuals with baccalaureate nursing degree can pursue include critical care nurse, family nurse practitioner (FNP), clinical nurse specialist (CNS), paeditric care, emergency care nurses, and cardiac nurse.
