That's good to hear that you found a program that works for you. I've been looking at Indiana Wesleyan. It's private, but the tuition is a lot cheaper than most schools. They have MSN/MBA for about $30K. I just don't like that I have to write a few e...

Sorry, I meant for the subject to state "MBA vs MHA". I'm sure this topic has came up before, but I haven't found too much info on it. I'm looking into enrolling in an online MSN program, but still debating what route to go. I have my BSN and I curre...

Well, I've decided to go back for an MSN/MBA dual agree with a concentration in health care administration. The big question is which school? I've researched many online programs, but still undecided. Like most, I need a program that's flexible, affo...

Thanks for responding. I have been debating this for quite some time now. It is a difficult decision. I was accepted to an MSN-FNP program, but now having a change of heart to a more administrative side of nursing versus direct hands-on patient care....

I am a fairly new CM. I work in a big teaching hospital doing case management for the Trauma/Surgery service. It's very challenging with complicated cases. Most of my patients are either gun shot victims or s/p MVCs and have no insurance. I also do t...

I just interviewed for a case manager position working with trauma patients in a large hospital. I was offered the position, but I'm nervous about accepting it. I have been a med/surg nurse working at the bedside for about 9 years and this is complet...

Hello, I am a new case manager for Trauma Surgery patients in a large teaching hospital and we are also required to do utilization reviews. I feel more comfortable with the case management duties as compared to doing utilization. Our hospital used to...

I plan on going back to grad school also. I got accepted to a FNP program, but now having second thoughts. The cost of NP school is so expensive and the clinical portion will conflict with my schedule. I'm thinking about going into Health Care Admini...

I just got a case manager position where I worked as a bedside staff nurse for about 10 years. I don't have any CM experience, but I think what really stood out was the fact that I worked as a charge nurse. They told me leadership skills is what the...

That's good to hear! I start the program in January 2014. I'm doing it part-time, because I will be working full-time. I'm just concerned that I can manage the classes while continuing to work full-time.

My admission counselor was ----. He was also good with keeping me informed. I've been accepted to the Jan. 2014 cohort. I'm now officially enrolled after paying my deposit and now all my communication is with Sarah, a student support person. They hav...

Yes, I got a phone call first. Then my admission counselor sent follow up emails of the next steps to starting the program.

My application was complete on Nov. 6th and I just got word today, Nov. 20th that I'm accepted for the January 2014 cohort. It didn't take that long for me to complete the application. It all depends on how fast you can get everything in.

Thank you!! I'm excited! My admission counselor has been very helpful and good at keeping me informed of everything! I look forward to starting the program there!

I just got the phone call! I'm accepted to the FNP program at Simmons! I start in January!!

We also have a weekend only contract for an extra $7 an hour, however our hospital is doing away with this option at the end of the year. It does cost the hospital a lot of money and we are in a budget crunch right now. I did the weekend thing for a ...
