Any LPN's with Bachelors in health care administration?

Updated:   Published

Just wondering if there are any LPN's that decided not to get bachelors in nursing but in health care admin. or other health related field to compliment your LPN background?

CAPE LPN, what schools have the MSN entry for LPNs with a BA in another field? Im interested in finding out, please.

I am a CSR(Certified Shorthand Reporter) and also have a AAS degree and a LVN.

The Court reporting is useless to me as it is not at all what we thought

it would be(my husband and I)

I'm now re-taking my sciences to be able to get my RN.

I got my degree at a local college in my area. What can I do with it? 1. Clinic Manager, ADON( in some places), or even an administrator, but they usually want you to have your masters. What I did was look at the program, then I googled it to see how I could use it and how much they get paid.

I also had 2 associate degrees,one of which I received when I was in the service. Most of my preques.were accepted, and some weren't so I just took what I needed to take. THere were some classes I put up a fuss about taking, but I took them any way.

What happened, why didn't you work with your bachelors in public health. Wasn't the pay good? why did you decide to go to Lpn school.

Well, I did work in the public health field for awhile and then we moved. When I got to Texas it was hard to get a job in the field. I had always wanted to be a nurse so I said why not go back to school to get my nursing degree. I plan on getting the LVN first then go back to get my RN.
