PSA! Doing it right now and just be ready for heavy amount of writing. it's 90% writing and if you're not a strong writer like me, you'll want to give up. Some classes have up to 4 performance assessment (writing) task. BTW I went in with all my core classes done except for pharm.
Hi Shane, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve had my college transcripts/certs evaluated and my AAPC coding certifications (I have 3: CPC, CPMA, & CRC) met satisfaction for two of the core classes (D254: introduction to medical coding and C808: classification systems). I hope this helps. Thank you for posting this video! You have been a huge help!
Hi, do you have any updates like: is it a lot of writing, and what certs. were able to help bypass courses...like med coding, or information tech certs or other like you have, and what classes did they cover ?
I like it I have always wanted to get my degree in HIM it is heavy on writing but I have learned a lot so far and would recommend it!!!!!!!@@SummerWynn
@@snethembamkhungo4382that's what i want to know as well, is it a lot of writing, and what certs. were able to help bypass courses...like med coding, or information tech certs?
Anyone complete A master's in healthcare management? Wondering what (if any) prior classes or work you transferred. Your experience, etc. It truly breaks my heart that I have to give up my dream of being a nurse..: but I'm looking into alternatives. Any feedback would be appreciated
Same here. The exact thing for me. I can’t do clinicals without the you know what liquid in the arm. Having to switch over even though I am right at getting my BSN otherwise.
I'm curious about the professional practice requirements, do they place you somewhere or give you assignments to complete in a specific health information management system?
1. University of Maine-Presque Island, 2. Southern New Hampshire University, 3. Thomas Edison State University, 4. Purdue University-Global (Excel Track)
When u say "pre-test" out, do you mean once you've completed the 3rd party equivalent course, we get credit for that course, or do we literyhabe to take an exam at WGU, to test out of it?
Could you do a research/online review of UMGC- University of Maryland Global Campus? It’s a school that primarily focuses on “adult students” and majority of their classes are available online! Im strongly considering this school and trying to hack a BA in marketing and media/communications, either as a double major or minor and major since they don’t combine the two as one subject. I’d love to know what your thoughts are on it!
I am a UMGC student plus I’m hacking🙂. Great school but do your college readiness on Sophia cause they don’t tell you nothing everyone is extremely business so do your research and have as much knowledge as possible before applying 🙂… Hopefully we will cross path again… 👌🏽
When you say test out, why do u need to test out of a class @ WGU, if you've completed the course already? Im not understanding that. Once you complete the class, shouldn't you be able to just transfer in the course and pick up where u left off, and just do the classes for the major? Do u literally have to take a test to get credit for the class you want to transfer in, if its completed already? 😂
Can this be done globally ?? Students from India can they pursue courses from WGU? Can you suggest some online schools/universities for medical coders working from India ? Thanks in advance
Everyone caught up and asking questions. These degree's will qualify you for high up positions, but you must realize those positions are also coupled with years of work experience, or an internal training program. None of WGU's degrees will allow any of you to step up to the highest chain of command in corporate, or in any other company if you don't have work experience. We've seen 18-19 year olds get their Masters in 10 months using WGU. Yeah, you explain to the entire department why we hired some teenager to run our company.. It WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE, and we'd go bankrupt just for hiring them. YOU can shortcut the education, YOU can not shortcut the experience. With IT, companies are going to look for someone with SQL or at minimum help desk experience, To really become a manager in IT after the masters it's going to take you 5-10 years at the same company. To become an RHIA with this HIMS degree, you're going to need connections. There's only one RHIA in a department, and they are also going to see that you're overqualified and might be gunning for their job if they do hire you as an RHIT or coder. They will not hire you. Don't go into this degree thinking you'll instantly be qualified for an administrative positon, director position or anything else that's high up. You will need to start at the bottom, like everyone else and work your way up. The only degrees which this doesn't count for are the CS, Cloud, Cyber or IT (non manager). Those degrees are slower, and if you really take the 2 years to learn the material they'll do you very well in life. Also, the Healthcare and social worker management degree, once you do the bachelors you can become a Board certified patient advocate, with that they start at around $33-$40hr and are definitely worth the degree, because that job someone can walk in off the street into. If you aren't trying to work for the Federal government, Become a military officer, Step up higher in a company you're already working with, I wouldn't recommend doing a quick 6 month degree because you won't qualify for any actual position without years of work experience. Amazon does hire Managers with bachelors in Business management, but you'll be at amazon.... Making 60k a year lol.
I would say this degree is best when paired with a specialty. For example i was a experienced pharmacy technician with 8 years of experience who wanted to move into the technology side of pharmacy and i got the bshim degree and RHIA and am now a pharmacy data analyst. I think this degree should be used by healthcare professionals who have experience already in their field but want to move into the tech side of healthcare.
@@SC-mo1hk Well picture the Idea behind it. These Degree's are usually meant for people who already have went through a medical and coding vocational school. So you've been a medical coder for 5-10 years and know the Ins and outs of the company. Well now you need the degree to step up higher as an RHIT or an RHIA. So you use WGU and pass the RHIT in 6-7 months, couple that with your experience, you're highly qualified for a director position. Next. You have Zero experience, use WGU and get a HIMS degree in 6 months at 18. You haven't held a job at Mcdonalds, much less would a company take you serious and hire you as a director over an entire department.. That's what this degree qualifies you for, is to be a director. Nobody is going to pick you up at all. These degree's are made to be for the already working professional within the field. Same with IT, Okay you get a masters at WGU in 10 months total time starting from 0 time and you're 19. NOBODY is going to hire you to run an entire IT company masters or not. You have to work your way up, start at help desk and keep going up the ladder. The degree will be worth it once you get to that point in life, but you can't shortcut life even if you can shortcut the degree. Say you go for Accountant, and you really want to take the CPA? usually you need at least 4000 hours of work experience to qualify to become a certified accountant just to take the test. These degrees are shortcuts, they can help you get into the military as an officer or into a federal government law enforcement position, but they wont help you jump up the corporate ladder. No degree will.
I have been wondering about this degree as a pre-medical or pre-dental. I would simply do a post-bacc program for prerequisites and GPA. Does this sound like a reasonable idea?
Hi Shane, can you review the WGU business administration Marketing degree? I have heard how you say universities don't do a good job teaching marketing,but what about this degree. I am currently completing this degree.
HIM is not a good field to get into. HIT 2 year degree will focus on medical coding not coding and billing like what medical assistant do . It’s very hard to get into coding field. HIM is like Health Service Administration but to manage Medical records. HIM is slow on evolving to what healthcare needs like IT side and Data Analytics. Please stick to skill based careers like RN, IT, and etc….I have two degrees in HIt and HIM. The coding jobs they shipped overseas to India too…. Thanks to Obama Administration. Create the jobs in the United States and hired out of the country workers.
@@manis.1484 that is not true... I landed a job before I finished college and before I had my CPC accreditation. I had no experience at all beside college courses and i am now working from home since 2015 making almost 6 figures.

@@PortGamingAssociation Looks like 8
How long will it take if u have all the core and gen ed classes completed?
Same here! Compared to the other degree plans HIM isn’t the easiest to accelerate.

I have an HIM associates degree and have been considering WGU to finish the bachelors. This is a very diverse field
R u able to work with your associates ?
Yayyyyy I am currently studying this at Southern New Hampshire University I love it!!!!!!!!!!
Hi , iam a zoology graduate working as a medical coder currently , can I pursue this masters? Are you aware of this?
How do you like the program at SNHU? I am currently there as well and want to switch to this program.

First Comment! Your videos helped me choose a career.
I’ll be going back in August I’ve worked in Revenue cycle for a total of 16 years I plan on doing this is 6 months and moving up into better

Now I feel like I have to do this the hard way.
I did a Master education degree at WGU, I finished in 3 months. Now trying to get an MBA from there (hopefully get that in 1 month).
which M.Ed program ?
Wish you spoke more on the career opportunities that come with the degree. Thanks for highlighting it tho!
I start in October 1st at WGU
Bachelors in Healthcare Administration

@shanehummus How does the google sheet change it you go in with your associates in HIM or hood your RHIT already

I know the feeling I am an LPN but they make it so hard to transition into RN which is making me transfer to another degree

Do this but with accounting
But what jobs can you get with this degree, entry level with no experience and the annual income?
Medical coder and more
Is the cheat sheet still valid?
How easy or hard is it without any knowledge or prior credits?
Hi Shane, can you review the WGU business administration Marketing degree? I have heard how you say universities don't do a good job teaching marketing,but what about this degree. I am currently completing this degree.

let me know if you find out.. looking for it, too
Hi Shane, is it possible to follow this path not being an American citizen? Thanks a lot for your great videos; you have changed my life.
I think you'll need a student VISA and need to live in the USA
Hello bro which more demand accounting or finance or supply chain the most demand ? Thank you so much
SNHU accepts sophia credits. I go to Snhu online and I have been doing that
I believe WGU does as well
Are you stating a bachelor's degree in healthcare management is not a good degree?
