This is crazy, your journey sounds a lot like what I’m currently going through. I’m currently a junior who was pre-med for 2 years and called it quits. I’m currently a Sociology/Public health major. I’m really aiming for an MHA after I graduate. Thank you so much for this video, it was so insightful!

[dannell]

Congrats on finding this at an early age. I'm 34 and just discovered this is what I want to do. I might be 40 when I finish school but I plan on going all the way. keep us updated so we can follow along with good luck.

Hey! Thank you for making this video. I am majoring in HSA and I haven't found many videos of people who are Health Care Managers/ Administrators. I used to major in Nursing and I changed to Health Service Administration. Before, I was so enthusiastic in watching Youtube videos of nurses-- but after I switched it was hard for me to find Youtube creators like you talking about HSA. Love it!

[nesha]

Thank you for posting this video! Prior I was a nursing assistant for around a year but now I am currently a nurse and honestly after working bedside for over a year, 2 jobs, I realize that I just can't. I don't feel like nurses are constantly understaffed, inadequate resources, etc. This just makes the job harder and in turn makes it bad for the patients. I truly feel like bedside nursing is going to be an issue in the incoming years because many new nurses coming in realize that it's not what they expected it to be. I want to do something behind the scenes, help hospitals or clinics get better, develop good policies, etc. I didn't realize you could do so much with a public health degree. Thank you for the video!

[anaispolanco]

Finally someone I can relate to! I was also going for nursing, half way through I realized it wasn't for me. I will be earning my associates in health services administration this may and I'm so exited!

[MakJor]

Thank you so much for this video. I am a freshman in college and i just declared my major as health admin. I have been trying to research, but there are barely any good videos about this degree. Thank you so so much!

[bernardtaylor]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I have been a physician for 23 years and decided to go back to get my MHA. Yes, decided to go back to school when most felt life was set. I love what I do and feel we need those who have clinical career experience to work in administration along side administrators as we navigate this era in healthcare. Thanks for the video.

[Bella-ubfl]

You have no idea how much this video has helped me I’m literally in the position you were in just crying and feeling like a disappointment because I always thought I’d be a doctor but I’m so thank for this

[nathantiong]

SO thankful for this very informative video! I'm a second-year studying Health Administration with a concentration in Health Systems Management. There definitely are not as many videos about this major/ career field and this helps so much and assures me that I am not alone! I came into college as a nursing major and quickly realized that it wasn't for me. But just like you, I still want to be in a hospital setting and make an impact on people's lives. Thanks again for this video and good luck on your MHA! I aspire to get mine as well and maybe doctorates!

[natashagates]

Thank you for providing a clear and concise description of what becoming a HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATOR entails.
Very good. Im so torn between this masters program and a few others.

[ihmk_]

I'm 19 years old and luckily because of the pandemic I got time to think what I want to do.

I'm really looking forward to studying hospital management but I'm soooo scared and I don't know anybody in this field plus no one really makes videos about this field.
So thank you sooo much!

I graduated with my MHA in 2015. It does give you a wealth of knowledge that you can use in your health care career whether you get an administrator role or decide to do clinical work. I will say that getting an administrative job will be slightly difficult after you get out of school if you don't have any experience working in any administrative roles in any industry or don't have experience working in a health care setting. I recommend that while you are pursing you're degree or before you start, apply for entry level jobs that will make you competitive for the job you want after you graduate. You can also have transferable skills from a different industry that will help in getting the job.
I am currently lab tech/CRC in research lab.

It’s so interesting to hear someone so passionate in what they wanna do. It’s an eye opener to hear about your long journey, with trial and error and now you’re finally happy with the outcome. I’m sure this’ll be very helpful to those who are thinking about entering the similar industry! I wish you the best lovely, happy new year xx 💕

[WanderWisdomHive]

I am 25 and looking to make a transition in this field from sales to having the ability to change lives and work within a medical community. Nothing is more fulfilling than ensuring you are making a difference in people's lives. Thanks for helping me understand this field in more depth.

[simplybinitax]

hi! i just wanted to write to you to say thank you! i’m also your age, believed that i would be a doctor, and recently made the switch to pursue an MHA degree instead. i’m waiting to hear back from a few programs, and i can’t wait to get started! i feel like i’ve seen so many videos like this for premed students, but this is the first that i’ve seen for an MHA student. it was so wonderful and informative! wishing you so much luck on your journey! rooting for you always! ♥️

[MizBrittny]

My whole high school/college focus was on nursing. Then once I actually got into the nursing program...I passed out in clinical watching a surgery 😂 i knew nursing wasn’t going to work but I was terrified to change my major. Switching majors turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made! I quit being a CNA, started working in insurance (making 2xs more), got my associates in healthcare management and now going for BS HCM w/ public health minor 🥰 love the content keep it coming 💋

[adesuwa]

This video really helps me as a junior in high school. Watching this video has made me more intrigue about this field

[AbidurUllah]

Thank you for sharing. I also started with pre med. Then, 2 years in I realized that direct care is not the best fit for me. So, I decided to get my B.S. in Long-Term Care Administration. I am now a licensed nursing home administrator. This is a six-figure career from the start, but nursing homes are just not on the same level as hospitals, which is exactly why I’m also planning on getting my MHA. I hope this will lead to a fellowship at a hospital. The administrative side of healthcare is a lot more rewarding than people think. I once had a resident (at a nursing home) thank me for making her life better, this made me realize that the 60+ hours a week and the intense pressure is worth it. Anyways, I just wanted to share because it seemed like we are both very similar. Good luck in your future!
