Nurse Administration Degree

Nurse administrators have supervisory and management responsibilities in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. They also collaborate with other healthcare administrators and help make policy decisions. Many registered nurses are promoted to management positions after obtaining additional education. Management-level promotions are usually accompanied by pay increases.

Most hospitals and healthcare facilities with open management positions prefer to hire and promote individuals with master's degrees. Individuals who enroll in master's degree programs in nurse administration will develop the knowledge and skills necessary to become competent managers. Since many schools now offer these programs online, registered nurses can continue working full-time while obtaining more education.
