A bachelors degree...

Best Answer:
There are entry-level positions available with a bachelor's degree in Healthcare Management at hospitals, nursing homes, etc. They prefer you have an advanced degree, but there are still positions available. You have to have a bachelor's degree AND a certificate from your state to be a nursing home administrator. And most of the management/administrative positions in the healthcare industry require that you have a degree in a specialty medical area. I was actually majoring in Healthcare Management until I had a serious talk with an experienced friend of mine. She told me that she had several friends who were in Management/Administrative positions in the Healthcare industry and they are kind of "locked" into their current positions now with no where to go. She said it's a very hard advancement field b/c once people make it into a top administrative position, they stay there for years to come and people below them have to stay there where they are b/c the top positions are already filled. So I'm now majoring in Management, so I have a HUGE career angle and I won't get stuck in a low position.
