Hello,
I want to first and foremost thank you all for all the help you have provided me in the past and to others. I frequently read postings concerning current nursing issues,etc. They all prove to be very helpful.
I have a BIGGGG current dilemma. I applied to 3 schools to recieve my masters degree. I have narrowed it down to two. School 1- Degree in Health Adminstration School 2- MSN in nursing adminstration. My inital thought process was to than go back for a post masters certificate in education after finishing my inital degree. The first degree is not nursing based and is more of a generic degree. In order to teach does the masters degree HAVE to be nursing based????
I can not find the answer to this anywhere. Currently, I am leaning to school #1 because scheduling is much better and I believe that maybe a more generic degree makes you more marketable than in the same breath I go back and lean toward school two. I am interested also in pharmacetuicals. ULTIMATELY, I would love to help with running maybe a nursing program possibly. My question is if I go to school 1 (not a nursing based degree)....will I ultimately be unable to to be a nursing teacher because the degree is not nursing based?????????????????????
ANY help would be GREAT!!!!! Decision times comes tomorrow

I found one of your initial posts about nursing online and I found some of your other posts. I hear a lot of your fears and concerns. Do you mind if I ask how you're doing? Were you able to use your Masters successfully? I have very similar plans to yours.
I don't mean to bother you, but any thoughts you have on nursing as a career would be so helpful.
Thank you.

OP hasn't logged in since 2010. I doubt you will get a response. You may have better luck describing your plan and concerns so that others can chime in.
