Hospitals that find they require this soon find they are chronically short staffed.$0.20-$0.40 more an hour for thousands of dollars invested (not to mention time). I only do financial management as a hobby but the ROI tells me that it's a waste of resources.
Katie71275 947 Posts Specializes in L&D. Has 2 years experience. Feb 2, 2016 For me, it was finding the time to manage homework , kids, and work. I work 2 jobs, 60 hours per week in general, and have 4 kids that are 6, 9, 11, 13, plus 2 dogs, so finding the right balance is hard. I'm glad I am almost done though. I finish this month. Also glad the classes were 7 weeks.

Our hospital is magnet and people are trying crazy hard to work there.... Again education is never a waste.
