Career Advice

Can anyone in the Navy guide me towards pursuing a career in nursing administration? I am seriously considering going to school to obtain an MBA and would like to know your thoughts? Thanks

    Just to clarify, you want to be a nursing administrator for the Navy? Are you currently a Navy nurse? I'm pretty sure you can't direct commission as a civilian into an military administrator role; they make you do bedside nursing for a certain period of time. Nursing admin are at least O4s, and you would need 16-18+ years of civilian nursing experience plus a graduate degree to direct commission as an O4. I've never heard of a nurse commissioning that high off the bat to be honest---just docs.

    Hi jfratian. I'm currently a Navy nurse doing bedside nursing.

    Yeah, I'm not going to be able to help you much there. If you're looking at doing the full-time back to school deal (for the Air Force we have AFIT), know that there are dual MBA/MSN and MBA/MSHA programs. If you are doing the online part-time thing, Trident University offers good military discounts that pretty much makes the degree free with tuition assistance; they are regionally and nationally accredited.
