Advice; MBA or Nurse Informatics?

Does anyone have advice regarding earning either a masters degree in NI or an MBA with post graduate studies in NI?

I am exploring possibilities for graduate school. Currently I am a critical care nurse with 5 years of experience. I am interested in 3 specialties for graduate studies; informatics, MBA, and education. Does anyone have advice regarding earning either a degree in NI or an MBA with post graduate studies in NI? I think that becoming an educator is still a possibility with either of those two degrees (and experience).

Any response is appreciated. Thank you.

I think your choice will depend on what it is you want to due in the future with your degree and career.

Be aware that if you want to teach in a School of Nursing a MBA will not be accepted. You would need an addtional advance degree in Nursing. You wrote you have 3 interests related to advance degree concentration so what is it you want to do? Be an educator, a researcher, or are you intested in a leadership role?

Decide what your passion is and then your choice on degree concentration will be easy.

Good Luck
