ADN to RN to MBA

Published

I'm looking into going back to school at an ADN program to make a career change. I'm 23, have a BA in Economics and currently work in Finance and hate my job. I have been exposed to nuring my entire life through nurses in my family and even had a friend in college who was a type 1 diabetic who I and even gave her shots on occasion and while thats an extreme microcosm of what nurses do...I know I'm comfortable with this choice. My ultimate goal is to work as an RN for awhile upon completion of an ADN program and then go back from an MBA in Healthcare Management or Masters in Public Health. While I'm going back to school this fall I will be taking some other business courses to help accelerate my MBA. Has anyone else made a similar transition and if so, could you provide me with any advice? Both of the RNs in my family, one of whom is a BSN and the other an ADN, recommended the ADN program as the most cost effective and efficient way for me to transition my career. Any help from the community is greatly appreciated!
