Healthcare Admin FAQ | Do I Need Clinical Experience? | CAHME | MBA, MPH, or MHA? | Juno

[@hikinghealingandinspiratio2005]

27 years as a LPN. I finish my Bachelor’s in Healthcare Management in April 2023. I plan to apply for a MHA/MBA right after completion of my Bachelor’s. You have given me a wealth of information and opened my eyes to so many things. I’m starting my degrees late. I’m 49. I won’t finish my maters I until around 53. That fact makes me nervous but outside of that I am looking forward to this transition. I am tired of floor nursing and your channel has opened my eyes to the many directions I can go. I’m looking forward to learning more. Thank you!

[@michellet3838]

I'm on the same path as you! I'm also an lvn. Congrats to you and keep going!

[@SoupyBK]

I too am 45 years old I will graduate in December 2025 with my BSHA and am thinking I want to do a MBA/MHA or just do an MBA-Healthcare Management. By the time I finish, I'll be just shy of 50. This is a career change for me I'm having a hard time getting entry-level jobs anywhere in health care. I have a lot of leadership/management experience in another industry but no formal medical administration experience. In addition to the gratification of graduating I at least want to make it into a management job in a health care capacity.

[@jessbelieve180]

I’m so happy I found this channel!!! I’ve had my degree in healthcare management for 8 years and have been having a hard time getting jobs cause I don’t “have supervisory experience “ but hearing all these career options has reignited my drive

[@CourtneySharea]

I'm so happy you're here!

[@energeticadjusters3143]

Hello Courtney, I do agree with the Healthcare Administration Degree or field without having clinical. Every Healthcare Industry will always need Human Resources, Project Management, Accounting, Finances, Information Technology, and Healthcare Policies without even working inside any clinical field. I have completed a Bachelors of Business and Masters of Healthcare Administration with Project Management Courses. My primary occupation is working Human Resources and Licensed inside the Insurance Industry. Retired US Army Veteran

[@Koricometh]

I'm one year into my MHA. I'll be done next June '22. Goal is to get into an Administrative Officer position at the VA.

[@AviationPilot91]

Love this channel. Currently working in Health Compliance and finishing my MBA. Experience is KEY in this industry.

[@drewlynnep]

Hi Courtney, so glad I found your channel, I’m currently working towards my Masters in Healthcare Leadership. I’ve worked in healthcare for over 20yrs (now in leadership) but the growth opportunities within my company are somewhat limited. I’m glad I found your page for ideas on my next steps

[@TimelessAmor-sy9xo]

Our hospital administrator position requires a rn license. If I could get the position without I would lol. I think it's helpful not necessary.

[@mekakoop9777]

I missed the live. But glad you posted the replay. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@blingbyjessica]

I'm almost done with my Associates degree. I graduate in this month, then I'm going to continue my education and get my bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration, then I'm going to work on my Masters degrees in MHA and MBA dual degree. Courtney I want to follow in your footsteps.

[@c.dbutler8111]

Just getting settled! So bummed I missed the live stream, but I am definitely taking notes! Thanks again for all you do!!

[@sammiesmith3454]

The hospitals in TMC in Houston says on the jobs when you apply that your degree has to be from an accredited school. Definitely second doing your research and looking up jobs you might be interested/places you may want to work to see what they require

[@CourtneySharea]

Thanks for sharing. Do the hospitals in TMC say which accreditation the school must have i.e, CAHME, etc.? Accreditation is definitely important because you don’t want your money to go to waste, many employers do not specify which accrediting body the school must accredited with.

[@ayikatho]

Very helpful video! I specifically liked the section covering CAHME and quantifying resume content! Great info! Thank you so much!🙏🏾😊

[@safaaelsir.9160]

Thank you so much for your informative, fun videos, they got me so psyched for getting the job of my dreams in HSA..congratulations on your promotion, well deserved dear. You are an inspiration, sending you all the blessings for more abundance in all aspects of your life.

[@anamikabasnet1630]

I have applied for masters in health care administration in Webster university ❤️

[@jayakolte]

Hey.. I m also about to apply For MHA, but I do not have any work experience in healthcare.. did u apply for MHA with prior healthcare experience?

[@sunnye6342]

I'm new, just found your channel by looking at someone else.. I am so glad I came across you. I love your information.

[@_QueenBell]

Thank you for this video! I will definitely subscribe. I’m currently a nurse and so i see why so many of them were upset at your TikTok lol! But i don’t think that excuses their comments to you. Sorry you had to deal with that. It’s unfortunate! However, more nurses should definitely be in leadership positions.

[@ixxgxx]

I've been an LICSW for 20 years. Direct clinical/Therapy/Crisis Services. I am thinking of an MPH now or possibly an MBA in HAS. I am tired of being in the trenches and seeing peers and new grads get micromanaged and abused by Behavioral Health Admin. Most of these managers are burned out social workers that have moved up the ladder for kissing ass. When, as a clinician, you are dealing with tremendous vicarious trauma via working with psychosis, suicidal and or homicidal clients due to MH Dx or Substance Misuse, along with Vicarious Trauma and moral injury, the LAST thing you need to have is a person way up on the ladder shouting orders, micromanaging, making mandated clinical decisions when they do not have clinical experience (young managers usually). With patient issues pressuring below, and admin pressure above. your head is in a vice grip. Lately I have been leaning towards MBA in HSA and focus on BMed. My fear is facing Ageism as I look for a new health Admin position. Would the company want a mid level career recruit with some experience, or a new grad who already has an MSW and has done clínical work for 20 years?

[@daniellerussomanno188]

I’m an LPN and I’ve always thought that I could manage a practice. Now that I’m taking classes to do so I can tell you- I don’t think I could do it well. Now after college, that will be a different story. They aren’t the same job.

[@courtneysymone4035]

I 100% Agree! MHA Grad.

[@janiealtamirano2585]

Courtney, you are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your videos and all your advice. I am beginning my care in Healthcare Administration. And you are very helpful. TFS 😍

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi Janie! Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad to hear that you're finding the info helpful. 🥰🥰🥰

[@iam_theweighiam2950]

After 8 years of having my degree in Healthcare Administration, I’m finally working in my field...at a entry level though lol. I work with Onboarding, Credentialing, Accreditation, Policies & Procedures partially and I oversee a huge account for the company. I don’t know what route I should focus on in regards to a career path.

[@dacoldest2008]

Have you considered looking into Healthcare professions in Long Term Care?

[@sam0frtend]

Awesome breakdown of the info

[@xoxogemvenus]

Thank you for the live! I missed it but hope I can catch one soon.

[@CourtneySharea]

I'm about to go live again in 10 minutes at 8PM EST tonight!

[@bushuniversity2509]

I am getting my MBA in healthcare management. No healthcare experience but a lot of management experience and active duty navy. Processing out, will that be enough to be competitive in Mid executive level in healthcare?

[@mightyzane5400]

Healthcare IT and healthcare programming is where the future is

[@mikeomari806]

Do you get paid more with a masters in healthcare management/ administration as opposed to a a bachelors? If so, what are the differences? Thank you!

[@jaborrie]

Did you ever find an answer to this?

[@deeelle697]

Your videos are so informative & helpful. Thank you.

[@CourtneySharea]

I'm so glad you find them informative!

[@symphony2929]

So I have 15 years of managerial experience and 20 years of customer service. I have a bachelor degree in psychology and master of healthcare admin. How does one transfer those skills?

[@CourtneySharea]

[@Ednaaa166]

Hi Courtney I have a question I have my bachelors in pre med and been looking into getting my master as a Heath administration I was wondering if that will work?. And if you have any information that will be helpful. Your videos are very helpful

[@jackieking6925]

I’m in the same position!

[@Ehsanhoque2079]

Hi. Thanks for your informative vedio. I have a question that is there math in MHA course and are those math hard?

[@sonyablue1252]

Do you have any guiding information on Pharmacovigilence/Drug Safety?

[@xAshleyIsBeautyx]

Thats sounds interesting i want to know more

[@sarankante2456]

Hi thank you for making your videos, they are very informative. I change my major from nursing to Healthcare administration. I realize after 2 years of college that nursing wasn't for me. I will be taking my healthcare administration classes next semester, but I am very scared. I don't know if I made the right decision; I am somehow a quiet person, I just like to get my work done. I also love sales managers. My first manager had a degree in nursing, but she realized that she wanted to help people differently and become a sales manager. Is it possible to become a store(sales) manager or an accountant with a degree in Healthcare Administration?

[@justinabenson7229]

Okay, I was in the same situation a year ago, switched from Nursing to HCA, and I know a lot of people who have done same so you are not alone. I recommend you do a lot of self research in regards to the scope of this practice as it is very broad. You could do a lot with it however if your goal is to be a CPA (Accountant) then no not with this degree, as you would be required to have an Accounting degree, however you can become a Health service manager, coordinator, CFO, CEO, Administrator, Health consultant, some health informatics career and more with this degree by properly doing research, and leveraging your experience and opportunities. Goodluck

[@Monifahhhh]

Is a CNA CONSIDERED clinical experience?

[@CourtneySharea]

Yes!

[@duntebond4475]

I’m currently enrolled to get my MHA. The school I’m going to is not CAHME accredited. Do most companies look for that when you apply or is for those trying to do fellowships?

[@CourtneySharea]

Some employers care about CAHME, most of them don’t. Ensuring that your program is accredited is important though. Accreditation matters for fellowships. Do your research on fellowships to see if there is an accrediting body trend amongst them. This info will tell you if you need to switch to a CAHME accredited program.

[@lboogie199]

Hello Courtney, I am about to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science. My school does not have a Bachelors in Health Administration. Do you think after I graduate I could get a job in Health Administration or go into that field with my degree?

[@ManpreetKaur-pt6xg]

I am graduated in Public health Science and also did Masters in Chemistry and having no experience. What kind of jobs I can apply??

[@mojisolaolusegun2552]

Hi, Thanks for all you do. Pls I'll like to know the difference between Masters in Health Service Management and Masters in Health Administration. I have my B.sc in Anatomy and Masters. In Public Health but also considering taking another masters in Health Service Maanagement?

[@michaelmartin7778]

If my master’s in healthcare administration is not CAHME approved, will that effect me in the long run?

[@Secular326]

Hii.. How good if we could combine master's in quality with a mba or mha? Whats your perspective on this? Your answer would be greater help in resolving the conflict about prioritising between or combining the two.. Pls reply Thanks

[@hikinghealingandinspiratio2005]

I was told I need a RN to advance in Healthcare compliance and auditing. It that true or can I maximize my potential after I get a MHA/MBA?

[@sophiroy72]

Is Health care administration and health care information technology from York university Canada a valuable one..?

[@samwisegamjee599]

Hi .....I know comparatively DDS has more output but my doubt is ..... can u please tell in MBA or MHA are jobs less or salary less or what is the issue ? why almost every one take it as bridge course? Thanku

[@tamerunrob6510]

I am over 50 yrs old and always wanted a degree in Health Care . I am not sure if I get my degree from distance learning school Accreditor DEAC will help me move around or be able to do a lateral move . Will employer take my degree seriously ? I currently work in health insurance and not sure if I want to move up but I do want to enjoy what I am doing and want to do a lateral move if I want to learn a different task . Do you think graduating from DEAC accreditor will be taken seriously ? I choose this route because I work full time and want to keep the cost low . Thank you.

[@CpT_PrInCeSs]

Is there a high demand for health care management in CA in the San Bernardino and Los Angeles area? I'm going through a crisis, I don't know if I should go for nursing or health care management 🥺 Anyone please help me with this.

[@blessedhighlyfavored9126]

Might sound cliché but go for what you see yourself enjoying.

[@kundanshah822]

What about post master of physical therapy experience, will it add value

[@CourtneySharea]

Add value for what specifically?

[@ellabolenbarr2518]

What type of associate degree do I need for healthcare administrative .

[@jeanjuniorjacques9772]

I don't think you really need clinical experience. In the training. We'll teach you the best leadership and fast technic clinical to get to work done. That's all you'll need. So, email me the position you have available for july 21 my boss friend!

[@jsantos8519]

Can I get into a MHA program with an accounting major?

[@CourtneySharea]

absolutely!

[@zoeamanda1423]

Hi, I would also like to get business degree along side this degree what do you suggest? B.S. or Associates?

[@jordanBjack]

this is very nice

[@macarezchatman1571]

I’m a pre pa student would you say this is good job for introvert type people

[@CourtneySharea]

Hi! Which job in particular are you referring to?

[@preciousben3221]

Can a healthcare administrator work in a pharmacy

[@Caramel9487]

SMH, I’m not surprised that the nurses tried to “go in on you.” Nurses are just big arrogant bullies , those mean girl tactics don’t work outside of their nurse circles. We will continue to be their bosses and they will deal 😩

[@CarFreeKC]

Hi Courtney, is it possible to make the chat available for watching later? Sometimes there is great conversation in the chat but I missed it because i'm studying :(

Hey! Missed you last night 😊 the chat will appear on its own about 24 hours after the live.

Hello, I’m interested in HCA. Is it a bad idea going into a HCA masters program without any experience besides health internships?
