Congrats- you are entering a field that is in great demand. There are a lot of different degrees you can earn- remember, if you have your ASN, you can always get a higher degree ONLINE- Yes! That is one great advantage. If I were you, I would get your Bachelors in health administration. Basically, if you are a nurse w/ any bachelors degree in health or science, what really matters in the end is your experience, knowledge and motivation. W/ BSN, you can go into teaching or clinical instructor- If you go into health administration, you can become a Supervisor or Manager and also teaching- also depends on what state you live in- I live in CA-- Good luck!!!

Wrong major.

Find a univeristy that has a BSN with a concentration in Health Administration.

The BSN is a unique nursing degree and another type of Bachelor degree is not considered equivelant.

You don't want to know what I think. Personally, I want my health care providers to have all the answers...

Nursing is really hard but get your asn and you are already at management level in the nursing world. When you have your AS in nursing the LPN's and techs are under you and with that you can upgrade anytime on line to a BS or MS and with nursing you will always have work. My Health Services Management degree is useless right now because when people get those jobs they keep them and in most areas it's hard to get those positions or find work that honors it especially if its an associate.

An associate degree in nursing will be acceptable for most, but not all, entry level RN positions. For the unit level management positions and supervisory positions they are looking for nurses, not hospital administrators. They will generally post those positions as BSN preferred or required or possibly MSN. If your goal is to get into healthcare administration at some point, you would serve yourself better by getting a dual MSN/MBA with the MSN in Nursing Management. These are the degrees most often seen in Chief Nurse Executives for major hospitals, and the nurses that will eventually become the CEO of Hospitals and Health Care Organizations.

While there are many people in the US with positions after a BS in Health Care Management, most people need at least an master degree for these positions.
