Nurse Wanting MBA

by dreamgirl777 » Thu Sep 11, 2008 12:34 am
Hi Stacy,

I am currently an RN interested in obtaining my MBA. I graduated from a respected university in 2002 with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. I am unsure of my GPA but I believe it was a 3.0 or slightly above. I have been in the nursing field for 5 years. I have no managerial experience. However, after some soul searching I decided to go for my MBA with a focus on healthcare administration. While attending school I hope to discover my niche in the business world. I believe I have natural leadership skills, lots of smart ideas, and a lot of common sense. My question is: Will it be hard with someone with my credentials to achieve my goal of obtaining my MBA? (The university I am interested is not a top B-school but has a great reputation in the nation. They do not require interviews but still have a basic admissions process)

Dear dreamgirl777,

You absolutely have a shot. The important thing is to convey a solid rationale for why you want an MBA and how it fits into your overall career plan.

Best of luck,
Lisa
