Masters in Nursing and MBA?

Question

does the joint degree program make you a nurse practitioner or just concentrate on hospital administration??

Answer 1

I have never seen a school which offered a clinical MSN with an MBA. This would not be a complementary program. A Nurse Practitioner Program (regardless of discipline of specialization) is already too short. If possible, after starting at the clinic following graduation from the MSN program, I would have gladly taken another year of clinicals, and am in support of the possiblity of making the NP programs into a DNS program to allow for more time for educational opportunities. To take over half of the time and devote to business subjects or to try to study them on top of the clinical subjects, would decrease the effectiveness of a nurse practitioner program.

Most Dual MSN/MBA or Hospital/Health Care Admin/MBA dual masters are to prepare the nurses to be leaders in health care organizations, and not clinicians.

Answer 2

grasp of technology in Nursing: you could grow to be a sophisticated prepare nurse and paintings as a nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist or medical nurse expert. grasp of commercial business enterprise administration: you could grow to be a nurse supervisor and paintings in many stages of administration and administration in a well being care facility.

Answer 3

You should probably contact an admissions representative at the university where you plan on studying. They can explain to you exactly what the degree will get you and what your courses will involve and focus on.
