MBA Healthcare Management at WGU | Online Master's Degree - Term 1 Update

[@westside916]

This was exactly the type of video I was hoping for going over what to expect with the MBA program at WGU. I'm about to finish my B.S.B.A. in Healthcare Management at WGU and want to return to the MBA program afterward. Thank you!

[@fernandocisneros2890]

We’re you able to find a job in the field with that degree from WGU?

[@lolgeselle]

Awesome Chris! I will do follow up videos when I get the chance!

[@lolgeselle]

I have yet to look for a job with my MBA. But there are opportunities out there!

[@siahlynforever96]

@@lolgeselleI noticed that you’re doing sonography. Was it because finding a job was tough?

[@sybilallen8495]

Thank you for the information. It helps understand the layout beyond what's available on the website.

[@lolgeselle]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@kaylynnthompson1772]

Thank you so much for your channel! I love your content and I found sonography through browsing KZbin and finding your channel. I found my calling because of your videos! Thank you so much! You are a wonderful person! Good luck with your schooling!

[@lolgeselle]

You are so welcome, Kaylynn!! Thank you so much for supporting and watching these videos, it truly means a lot!!!! I am so glad you've found your calling. So proud of you! Thanks for everything and I hope to see you in more comment sections, hehe!

[@amandatacos2]

You look BEAUTIFUL! I can’t wait to get my bachelors and then masters sometime in the future.

[@lolgeselle]

thank you loveeee🥰💞 I can’t wait for you tooo!!! You’re doing AMAZING!!👏🏽

[@dreamylovee7993]

what is your salary now? Has it increased or are you struggling to find a job (besides your stenographer career)

[@lolgeselle]

My salary has increased but not because of the MBA. I have seen those in the field though who finished this program and have found jobs with increased salary. It just all depends on the person!

[@micheledelahay3987]

Hi. What is update on your program? i am a nurse considering this track for MBA but hate accounting and any related finance type classes. Is it doable or really challenging? Was your goal full or part time? Are you on track to finish in time?

[@lolgeselle]

Hi Michele! I actually finished this month! YAY! In less than one year! They do a really good job teaching and providing resources, I knew nothing prior to the classes. It is challenging but doable for sure. My goal was part time and I finished faster than I wanted! :)

[@justinabenson7229]

I start the MBA-HCM in September.

[@lolgeselle]

Good luck, you can do it! I’m about to finish!

[@kariw7969]

Do you have any info on how / what the Capstone looks like for this degree?

[@lolgeselle]

Not yet as I’m not there, however there’s a ton of reddits out there explaining the classes! I believe it’s a simulation of you creating a business and it involves papers and a presentation!

[@miguelrosales7150]

Hi Geselle, do you know if I can use my BS Degree from WGU for an MBA here in my own state or any state for that matter.

[@lolgeselle]

I believe you can use it in any state :) I would contact a program director or enrollment counselor for the MBA you want and ask any question you may have. They're happy to help!

[@gretchie35]

Can I ask you after you got your bachelors in health care management? Were you able to get a job quickly? Especially with no experience? Also what is the pay?I'm reading a ton of resources stating this degree is not a good degree because you have to have experience to get paid well. Versus if you become a nurse you get a job immediately with good pay out of school.

[@lolgeselle]

I got my masters in healthcare management. It is actually for me to move up in the field. Typically you would need experience to receive a high paying job so a masters isn't needed necessarily. It just depends on what you want to do with the degree.

[@maridithosik1653]

Hi! I just want to know what’s next after you graduate in MBA HCM? What is the licensure name for MBA HCM? May I know what licensure reviewers did you use to get licensed as a MBA HCM?

[@lolgeselle]

Hello, after graduating with MBA in HCM, you can pretty much apply to jobs that require an MBA.

[@manmeetkaur7718]

I'm starting the MHA in August.... any insight about the diff on the 2 degrees?

[@micheledelahay3987]

Did you finish? Where are the updates?

[@lolgeselle]

yes I finished, I have a few videos on updates. a current one will be up shortly!

[@jessicar4714]

Thank you so much for the update video. Starting in September. How many hours a week do you think you invest in studying and homework?. I work full time, have a hubby and four kids…. So a little worried. Also when you write a paper is there a software program you like? Thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@lolgeselle]

YAY! Good luck! I started in September of last year and I'm about to finish! I think you can do it as long as you have some free time. Some classes are papers others are exams. Join the WGU Facebook group and you will find lots of tips and advice in there. I use Microsoft word, they provide it for you :) Good luck!!!

[@jessicar4714]

Thank you so much. Your words are so encouraging. :)

[@jessicar4714]

And congratulations on the success of your channel, career, education, and wonderful vacations you take 😊

[@samscopoulis7195]

Hi Geselle, I am about to start a new program in Las Vegas at LV college. They are making a cardiovascular sonography program there and I am really excited to get it started. I heard in one of your last videos you talking about how you work 3 12 hour shifts. That is literally my dream schedule. I almost became an RT because I know that is the schedule guaranteed pretty much, but I feel more passionate about ultrasound than I do about respiratory therapy. Is it likely I can get on a 3 12 schedule in Las Vegas? I’ve also heard about on call as well. Will I be forced to be on call? Or will I be able to dodge that?

[@lolgeselle]

Hi Sam! That's awesome. What's the program called? And yes you can work 3-12 hour shifts it just depends on where you work! And on-call is usually part of the job unless the facility does not have on-call. That's something you may or may not be able to dodge depending on where you work and what they tell you when you do onboarding. Definitely ask that question to all the places you work at. I'll tell you a majority of places have on call shifts in Las Vegas. There are only a few who do not offer (hospital wise). Outpatient does not usually have on-call.

[@samscopoulis7195]

Does outpatient offer the 3 12 schedule? Or is that a 8-5 m-f schedule? How does on call usually work at the hospital? Sorry so many questions 😅

[@lolgeselle]

@@samscopoulis7195 usually 3-12s are in the hospital. Outpatients are more office hour type schedules. Call means you are "on-call" for a period of time where the hospital can call you in as many times as they need or not even at all. You get paid per hour of call + additional pay if they actually call you in.

[@knalex08]

How is your program going?

[@lolgeselle]

Hi Elena! It's going well so far. I currently have 2 more classes left before I'm done!!

[@knalex08]

@@lolgeselle Wow that is fantastic. Congrats my start date is 8/1 :)

[@knalex08]

Thank you for this video. I am considering WGU HM is there a lot of writing assignments? I am not a great writer and the thought of a 10 page paper scares me!

[@lolgeselle]

Of course!! There’s a lot of classes that have to do with papers. I’m not a great writer either but there are a bunch of resources! They give you outlines. It’s super easy to get to writing once you have the topics and outline done! You can do it!!!

[@alishaginaw5150]

What are some typical assignments for the classes you’ve taken so far? Does every class require a big paper?

[@drop4375]

What’s a MBA? Is it health information management?

[@lolgeselle]

MBA is a Master of Business Administration

hey love!

[@jessicagentry6379]

Can u finish your bachlors degree in one year

[@gabrielaortiz8046]

No, masters yes but bachelor is more credits

[@lolgeselle]

I'm not sure about bachelors, but you typically can search on the website for WGU to see how long/ how many credits you'd need. Each individual's situation is different!

[@spicytranslations9604]

Cool video but why are we starting off by talking about completely random stuff?😂

[@lolgeselle]

Lol, thanks for watching. It's cause I typically start off my videos with updating my viewers.

[@AsrifYusoff]

Looking forward. Great content and subscribed! Would love hear what you think of my grad school channel. Thank you.

[@lolgeselle]

Thank you so much!!! I’ll definitely support and watch! 🥰🥰🥰

[@beautifulkiss7]

Hi. I’ve been trying my best to find a great online school that has sonography as a degree and I haven’t found one. How and where did you go to get your sonography degree. Every school that I’ve talked to said that you needed a certificate or something before you can start. I’m confused and at a lost at how to get started

[@lolgeselle]

Hi! You would need to look at CAAHEP.org to find an accredited school. There's not many online schools for sonography that I know of. I got my degree at UNLV. You can look for different programs in your area and see what their requirements are. Every school is different. Not all require certificates. Just gotta do some more research and may have to look outside of your city.
