I am a single mom and 48 years old. I have been a Neuromuscular Therapist for 25 years and decided to return to University to finish my BA in Business with a Healthcare Management certificate. I only have 12 classes left! I will add the 17 months to get my MHA! It is NEVER TOO LATE to change careers, especially with online classes these days! Thank you for this video. I love your puppy!
I have a 3 year old and 8 month old and work full time while also working on my MHA. I’m always so busy and it’s so hard because family from both sides expects to gather every weekend. I’m just so exhausted by the end of the week where I wish I could just go get my nails done or lay down but I never can. I know it’s going to pay off but I just dislike others inviting me to numerous events when they know I can’t because I’m so busy. The time that I do have I just want to spend with my little ones and hubby. So proud of you for getting it done!
@@KristaCannady thank you so much! It is hard! I wish I could see family once every 3 months as well lol you motivate me to get it done so thank you for showing your experience and for giving great advice
Not trying to but in your business but I do want you to know that I have a 3 and a half year old son I go to bed at 8 every night and I also to work full time and also work part time while also doing my drop shipping business on the side. I'm in school to get my MHA at WGU. Best of luck to you and just a piece of advice just let your school come first instead of gatherings and bring your laptop everywhere with you to work to the gatherings and do the studying at the gatherings. For instance I had to go to one of my nephews birthday parties this weekend and girl I brought my laptop and was studying. If you make it known that it is your top priority then ppl will understand better. Your trying to better yourself but YOU time is MUCH needed so just don't make it a big deal to attend all those outings and or gatherings tell them if there isn't wifi then you aren't joining. I know how frustrating that can be just simply say no to them because you can not please everyone that is the main thing in taking care of yourself is stop trying to please others and please yourself first cause you can't pour from an empty cup. They will get used to you taking care of yourself. Love yourself first and take care of you and your priorities your kids, your job and school no doubt and start saying no I can't. Make it a habit. They will get over it I promise. God Bless You 🙌 🙏 ❤️ Keep on doing YOU!!! The rest, I promise, falls into place.
Thank you for making this!! I’ll be starting my MHA program this fall and am kinda nervous, but I’m really glad I can watch your videos to gain more insight 💚
I'm currently an LNA (sometimes a HUC) and about to be starting school for my BSHA at the end of June! When I was searching for Healthcare Administration advice on youtube and found your channel, you truly helped me in making my decision. I hope you know how important your videos are. I can't wait to continue watching you share your journey.
@@KristaCannady Consulting, (Deloitte, McKinsey, EY) does it more often than not. Also pharmaceutical and healthtech startups like Olive pay very well with remote opportunities. CVS and Walgreens have pretty good leadership programs. Obviously you have a job so this isn’t of help to you but I finished up my MHA in ‘22 as well.
Thank you so much, Krista! Your videos have been super helpful as I’ve looked into MHA programs. I’ll be applying soon to start in 2023. The only MHA program in my state is about to have their site visit to get CAHME accreditation, so I’m really hoping they get it because I would save a lot of money that way and still get a degree from a CAHME accredited program. Wishing you all the best as your career unfolds!
Thank you for making this! I love all your videos and everything you’ve posted about your grad school journey has inspired me to get my MHA starting this fall (: Best of luck with everything!
@@kelsietarver49 yes I graduate this summer! I’m interning with one of the main hospital systems in my area and like how there’s so many roles you can work in with the degree. (:
@@sarahst13 awesome! did you do one that is cahme accredited? The university I work at has an online masters of science in healthcare services administration, but it is not cahme accredited. They would pay for a class a semester so that is enticing. Can't decide!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I would love a video on the different sects that you can go into and what you liked and disliked about those categories. For example why you chose the analytics side of things versus the project side of things!
Well, I am 27, right now. I already know that I will retire at age 70 and from age 50 to 70, I want to be in the "Administrative" field of Healthcare, most likely a Nursing Home Administrator, because I see WAY more jobs opened for Nursing Home Administrators, than for Hospital Administrators. So, with that being said, I plan on getting a Master's Degree in Business Administration in the speciality of Healthcare Management, 1st, before going into CNA or LPN school and being a Nurse for at least 10-15 years, before becoming an Administrator. I believe that clinical experience is vital. Nursing Home Administrators make the same, as a physician assistant, or probably a little more. I also want people to keep in mind that Healthcare Administration Degree does NOT always limit you with Hospital or Nursing home. You could work for insurance, too, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff. I am choosing the MBA, because that's more competitive, application-wise. I enjoyed your video!
Hello 👋 I have a bachelor In Healthcare management. I have been contemplating if I should go Back to school and get my MHA hopefully this vid can help me to eventually make a decision because the longer I wait the harder will be for me . I really want to provide a better financial life for my kids and I. I’m a MCM for the last 10 years and I think I should go back and my master and hopefully become more financially stable.
Hello! I've been following you for a while Krista and am right now in the process of applying for an MHA degree. My situation is similar to yours where I have a lower gpa (2.8), so I'm really trying to write the best essays I can. I saw ur video on what to do if you have a low gpa and will try to implement some of those as well. UNC is one of my top 5 choices of schools I want to go to, so I was wondering if you had any advice on the essays of what to include or not include? I have an outline of what I want to say, but I'm not a good writer so I'm having trouble starting. Any help would be very appreciated!
We’re currently in the same shoes..trying to write my Sop on why I want to study this course but can’t put my ideas together as I’m not a really great writer
im so glad i came across your channel because your videos has helped me so much with deciding what i want to do with my future!! im currently in community college as a business-economics major and planning on minoring in public health after i transfer. im not sure if business-economics is fit for healthcare administration and wondering if this would affect getting into that field.
I don't know how you get so little views and subscribers when you have put out such great contents. Lots of love from your new subscriber.❤ Hope you get more views and subscribers on coming days even though I think you are just happy putting out contents
Hi! I am currently 18 years old and beginning my undergraduate journey, and these videos have been really helpful. I am majoring in Healthcare Administration, and planning on achieving my MHA in the future. Do you think this is a good idea, or should I broaden my horizons more? Are there any benefits to receiving both my BHA and MHA?
Would you say the work life balance for a Medical and Health services manager is good? I would ideally like to make a decent amount of money but at the same time have a good family life.
Did any of your cohorts enter your MHA program with unrelated, non-health degrees? I majored in Spanish and this will be in the boat I'm in come application time. I really appreciate the time you put in making this
This video is very helpful! I also have a degree in exercise and sport science and want to get into healthcare management. Is a masters in healthcare management the same as MHA? As my country does not have an MHA.
Should I work while finishing a Bachelors and starting a MHA masters program? I work remote for a small pay for an insurance company. I feel my work is taking away from my ability to learn. Also, is there remote positions for MHA fresh out of college
Hello, myself writing from India. Just came your channel. Myself just completed MHA with a background of Medical field, BHMS which is Homeopathy, Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and surgery along with experience in Medical Insurance sector. Can you tell the prospects of jobs in abroad!
What roles in Health Admin would you say yields high pay that are “not math related” such as RCM for example. Id rather not be dealing with numbers allday to be honest.
Hi I have completed my MBA Hospital Administration from India after completing my Ayurvedic Medicine, I am currently working as Hospital Administrator in India, I would like to do jobs at USA soo how could I get links for jobs and attending interviews from India.. this would be really helpful if u take some time in answering my queries .... Thanks in advance
I have a bachelor degree in science of Genetics but I am working as a medical administrative assistant.. I am 30 years old.. Do you think I still can go forward in health care administration?
You definitely can! I'm 36 and doing a 4+1 program (bachelor's in healthcare management/administration + master's certificate) and then I'm going for dual MBA/MHA. My biggest advice is to join a healthcare association as a student in your first year so that you're able to network and connect with mentors. It's extremely important in helping you land fellowship/intern/ future job offers.
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
hello Ma'am, Currently I'm persuing ba English and literature degree in India. can i take mha as my master's degree? it's difficult to study mha in abroad?
It definitely could be! You could go into a more data driven field, like data analytics or health systems management. However, I will say while getting the actual degree, there is a lot of public speaking and group work, but that doesn't mean your career has to have that!
@@KristaCannady Thank you for answering my question! I'm still doing research about this career. I am considering applying to the UCLA master's program, which is mainly online.

There are some schools in Ontario that offer the “Master in Health Management”. Is that the same program or it’s different?
Thank you
Mauricio
Sounds similar but not sure!!
Girl you look stunning. Did you go to a grad school that was CAHME
Thank you so much! Yes!! CAHME was important to me
Should I work while finishing a Bachelors and starting a MHA masters program? I work remote for a small pay for an insurance company. I feel my work is taking away from my ability to learn. Also, is there remote positions for MHA fresh out of college
Did you ever consider nursing? Or did you know you wanted to be on the management side
I did not consider nursing but I did consider PA school! But decided clinical side was not so much for me.
