I've been a health unit assistant for 10 years and would love to move up the corporate ladder. If you are interested in health care becoming an HUC is a great way to move into an RN position. It also depends on the hospital where you work whether they are supportive of your career goals. At my hospital, the nursing field, from my perspective, is highly appreciated. (this probably would not be the consensus of the nurses :)). But I've found it extremely difficult to move out of my position even with a B.S. degree. If I was a RN, if don't believe I'd have a problem. I'd recommend visiting the national association for health unit coordinators website (www.NAHUC.org) to get some great insights into the profession. I do agree with some of the other posts regarding where this profession is headed, but the NAHUC is committed to ensuring we stay around a long time.
