   MBAnursearizona replied to MBAnursearizona's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks everybody!~ Yes, I do want to help people so I know I am going in the right direction. My mom and sister are nurses and they say it's hard. I guess I was just thinking if I were tired of being a nurse, I could easily go into the business world...

   I am wondering how many years on average does one work as a staff nurse before they get promoted to management? This is the career path I am interested in. Thanks!

7. Info on Masters of Nursing degree? (Not MSN)

   MBAnursearizona replied to MBAnursearizona's topic in General Nursing

   Well I just received the packet of info in the mail about the program, and it looks really great! And it is only 15 months, not 18! I understand a doctorate is not needed, but what I do understand is that the more credentials one has, the more you wi...

9. MBA graduate wants nursing degree-ASN or BSN?

   MBAnursearizona replied to MBAnursearizona's topic in General Nursing

   It sounds like our situations are very similiar. Based on job postings I have seen online, it does look like a BSN is necessary to advance in the healthcare system, along with a masters degree. I looked into the BSN and ASN and here's what I found......

    MBAnursearizona replied to MBAnursearizona's topic in General Nursing

12. MBA graduate wants nursing degree-ASN or BSN?

    MBAnursearizona replied to MBAnursearizona's topic in General Nursing

    What is an MEPN? Ironically I started my undergrad in Communication Disorders, but didn't get into the program (they only took 25 per year out of hundreds, and I was 28). I switched to Education just so I could finish my degree. I'm going to look in...

    Thanks for the info! I did look into an accelerated program and they are not offered in Arizona, but they are in Ohio. While I'd love to do the accelerated program, I am definitely moving west next month, so that option is off the table. The ASN in A...
