I've been approached by upper management at a few different places of me being a good candidate to move into management, but they think I'd be a more attractive candidate with another degree. I know there's the MHA and MBA, and the DNP which seems to be MBA-lite.
Anyone have one? Has it been useful? For the management jobs within my company I've seen posted I'd need my MSN (that I have) and under preferred it says MBA preferred, especially as you go higher up they want you to be an NP with an MBA as well, but I'm not sure if an MHA or DNP would substitute for it.
I like the idea of getting an MBA because it gives me flexibility if I ever got a job offer or opportunity outside of healthcare. The program near me would allow me to double concentrate in finance and healthcare administration/management/policy as well.
