It's a different degree that takes just as long to get as a degree in nursing. Some of the classes are the same for both degrees.Nursing programs tend to be more physically demanding and stressful; but getting a degree in Health Information Technology definitely isn't easy.

Some people have both degrees.

I got my Associate in Health Information Technology and my Bachelor's in Health Information Administration.

I also have one year in Nursing School.

I'm no longer interested in completing Nursing School because I was recently promoted at my place of work and I'm pretty much satisfied with my career and how much money I make.

I would recommend having both degrees if you are interested in a health care Quality Assurance, Utilization Review, RIsk Management, or other administrative functions that aren't directly related to nursing itself.

Speak with your school counselor to determine the classes you need in order to get into the nursing program at your college. Keep in mind that some colleges don't even have nursing programs.
