The responsibility of the health administrator will encompass a wide variety of duties including but not limited to administrative, medical, legal and ethical requirements and brilliantly combines the overall knowledge of the business administration and the health care system.

I believe that the Master’s program will challenge me in subjects that I am not proficient in.

I know that the finance aspects of the Master’s program will be difficult for me but I will seek additional resources through the University of Phoenix. I also will utilize the resources I have around me on a daily basis with the current leadership I work with.

“He who has health has hope. And he who has hope, has everything.”- Benjamin Franklin. The decision to pursue a lifetime of service within the Healthcare industry was quite easy for me.

Without proper health care, a person can feel lost and hopeless. I believe that an Administrative Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital will enable me with the necessary tools to plan, direct, communicate, and govern effectively in a health care facility.

Since the inauguration of my health care career at Keck Medicine of USC, I knew there would be no other academic institution that could better prepare me to excel at becoming a leader amongst the health care community. I have inquired with multiple USC hospital employees about the EMHA program, and all have spoken with high regards that USC offers an excellent healthcare administration master’s degree. I hope to be challenged intellectually while developing leadership skills necessary to mature into a successful leader. My work experience has prepared me to undertake the challenges that would be associated with remaining a full time employee at USC while pursuing an Executive Master of Health Administration.

Healthcare and healthcare planning are vital in today’s ever-changing world, without education and experience one cannot help patients or make policy changes that benefit all stakeholders.

Therefore, the Marylhurst Healthcare MBA program and all three concentrations will enable me to obtain the skills I need to succeed.

The Master of Healthcare Administration degree is a popular choice among professionals aspiring to leadership roles in healthcare, but the research requirements for an MHA degree often represent a bit of confusion for prospective applicants. Many people assume that all graduate degrees require an extensive research component, even as students are attending rigorous classes in their chosen field. While true in many cases, this is a blanket statement that doesn't represent all graduate degrees or even all Master of Healthcare Administration programs nationwide. Before enrolling in such a program, it's important to understand the potential research requirements as well as the many alternatives to traditional graduate research placements.

New graduate registered nurses face many challenges when they are fresh out of school. They struggle in categories such as role transition, high performance expectations in a high acuity environment, and an increasing role of accountability in today’s growing health care field.

A recommendation for transforming today’s nursing education is the creation of new graduate nurse residency programs.
