It is actually quite common. Many of the hospitals I have worked in have had RN administrators near the top. Multiple places I have been have had an RN at the head position.

Useful, not really but at mine and several big companies its a box you can check that can move you up a pay grade or two

Message Is an MBA really that useful? by TDcline Does it really open doors career-wise, or is it a pat-on-the-back "good for you" kind of thing?
Post your
1) undergrad degree
2) current job/industry
3) desired job/industry
It’s a tool, like anything else. There are broke doctors and lawyers. If you are willing to put it to work, you can make it pay off big time.

I got mine years ago and was employed in another field.
In my situation my employer paid for it, so free in this situation was good.
I had one situation where I had the same accomplishments as another coworker and the MBA did help me get the promotion.
After I retired and started my own business some of the things I learned in school were useful in helping me obtain business loans.

Mine has helped me. It kept me employed when the economy took a downturn. I'm not sure that it has helped me with promotions as of recent, but it is an advantage that I hold when going up against others for promotion fwiw

I'll put like this, I'm glad that I didn't have to pay for mine. I got mine through my company's tuition reimbursement program. If I had to come out of my own pocket, I seriously doubt that I would've gone after it. I don't really see the value in it.

It depends.
- If you are just getting one to add to your resume you are wasting your time and money.
- If you are solidly on a career trajectory where the next step up the ladder requires an MBA and your company has told you they want you for that job but you need to get an MBA first (a lot of ops type career paths are like this), then GET IT.

It's basically a necessity for promotions at most large companies. MBA is a checklist item. they'll throw your resume in the trash and keep you at entry level and lower mgmt without it.

I am about 1/4 through with mine. For someone without a business background, it has been informative. I have enjoyed it so far.

Stepdad was an Engineer from Tulane and MBA from LSU
Got him to department head of ExxonMobile
From what I gather, it opened doors otherwise inaccessible , but he worked his was off to get there
With hardcore work ethic, I would say it's worth it... without hardcore work ethic, it doesn't matter

A MBA is a waste of money. Get something more specialized.
Do the Executive MBA instead

if you go for it and get and never use it, what’s the issue?
if you go for it and get and need it in the future, what’s the issue?

I got a mba and they promoted me to assistant manager. Even got a sweet new set of skates from corporate

I have an MBA from a state university; not really prestigious.
In school we were told that MBAs were originally for those with technical degrees but without any business education/knowledge.
Over the decades it has evolved into much more it seems to me.
I have a technical undergraduate degree so the business classes were very helpful; at the very least you learn the jargon. It also demonstrates a commitment to life long learning.
The company tuition reimbursement program paid for it. It took 5 years of night school as I had to take 30 hours of undergraduate business classes.
I would not do it again but I would not take any thing for it.
I worked in a Fortune 500 company most of my career and it probably helped but being a better politician would have helped more I think.
If your goal is to move out of a technical role and into management then learn as much as you can about business. If school is the most effective way to accomplish that, then go to school.

What about an executive MBA from UTEP if your company pays half (half of $45K)? Work full time with every other Friday off and classes also all day Saturday twice a month. Takes 18 months. Currently a financial manager for an engineering company with a BS in Finance from LSU.

I got one about 10 years ago...hasn't done much for me but I was considering changing fields at the time. I'm a software engineer.
