I want to transition from clinical healthcare to administration

I completely understand your 'disinclination' to subject yourself to another round of nursing school if it wasn't fun the first time around.

However -- I want to provide you with a reality check here. "Administrative" positions in healthcare are primarily filled with either clinicians or people with an MHA (masters in Hospital administration). Nurse Administrators have an RN with a graduate degree in nursing or a realated field. A bachelor's degee does not qualify you for anything. If an MHA is going to be your sole qualification for administration (instead of advancing through the clinical ranks) then it REALLY matters where you go to school. This is really an 'ol boys' club. You need to investigate this. There are some really good MHA programs in which a lot of the coursework can be accomplished online, but they are very expensive and admission is very competitive.

You also need to know that 'administrators' have a very short tenure... lots of turnover in these positions and most of it is not voluntary. Hey, it's easier to fire the coach than to fire the team, right? Hope I didn't rain on your parade. Right now, I'd rather be a hot tar roofer in August than work in healthcare administration!!!
