I work in healthcare leadership (RN) and planning to go back to school for a masters degree. Would love thoughts on MSN in leadership vs MBA - which would be more valuable? Both from an employer point of view as well as actual knowledge gained from the program. Thanks!

Hi I am not a nurse but I do know the difference of both. The first question you should ask yourself is what is your career goal or what position do you desire to obtain that will make you feel like you have finally made it. Then, the next question is do you desire to stay in nursing or the medical field. Because a MBA is a versatile business degree - you can work in any industry with that degree. Lastly, in regards to a masters degree is that degree even needed for your big goal. MSN is strictly for leadership in nursing. Hope this helps!

Does where you get your masters degree matter? I’m in an online environmental science masters program at an expensive “name-brand” school, but have colleagues telling me I should transfer to a less expensive program to save $ because no one cares about where your degree is from. Aside from the cost of it, I like my program, and the fact that I’m now connected to an incredible alumni network. And not gonna lie, I like the clout. Thoughts?
