Becoming a Healthcare Administrator: Sharing My Academic + Career Story/Advice 

I am so happy I searched for healthcare administration content. I'm a lvn with a bachelor's in healthcare administration. Starting a masters soon. Started following you, can't wait to get all of your gems. The reason I wanted this degree is because change is made from the top.

Hello I been an LPN for 17yrs and will be graduating at the end of 2025 from NSU 😊with my bachelors in Health services management. I can’t wait to see the opportunities that come with it! Great video.

I would also say increasing staffing and providing a healthy environment for all clinical & non-clinical personnel to be able to feel appreciated for their service and contribution, during healthcare daily operations is a must. this process will further provide proper incentives for personnel to stay in the field, which is the number 1 concern for many allied healthcare personnel. The pay and the time is the issue as to why many health care employees are suffering from burnout. further , also considering the need to develope a proper form of scheduling for personnel to ensure adequate nursing services, while increasing patient succes rates, and removing patients off of ventilators, assistant breathing devices and reducing same diagnosis readmisson cases.

My mom graduated from NSU and I graduated from ODU with a Bachelor’s in Heath Administration. I work in NYC now and your videos have been very helpful, thank you.

Awesome story Dr.Orobosa. This really motivates me to pursue a master of business with concentration in healthcare. I’m looking forward to learning.

Honestly happy I came across your video❤, really help confirm why I’m pursing my degree in Health Administration.

I am very happy I chose my degree in health career in healthcare administration. I work as a DSP caregiver for people with disabilities and hearing your story caught my attention when you started talking about being an advocate for your mom. this past week I was having second guesses about my career decision but watching and hearing your story made me feel like I am doing in taking the right decision for myself.

First and foremost, sorry for your loss and condolences to you and your family. Secondly, I am a CNA/PCT. I am in the Bachelors degree in Health Services Management with a minor in Business Administration. After, I will pursue a Masters in Healthcare Administration. I am also from Brooklyn NY. I love this video and I did subscribe to the channel

Babyyyyyy you are a walking testimony. God has such a calling on your life. This video was meant for me. Thank you for this. I’m a single mom and was asking God for direction and your video popped up. Blessings to you👑👑👑👑 God told you your path from young and the vision was there. What’s for you is meant for YOU

Thank you for your story! I was supposed to hear your story. You shared 3 things that I believe God may be confirming for me in the spirit. I am proud of you for advocating for your mom, God's hand is on you and his favor is on your life. We have our ideas of what we want our lives to be, but God has his own. His spirit lives in you and you were obedient to the Holy spirit and by doing this your life is full and abundant. I want to offer my condolences for the loss of your mother, I know this was years ago but it you only get one mother, it sounds like you had a good one. I am 38 years old, Married with four children. I am just now attempting to earn a college degree; my oldest daughter and I started our first day of college together on the same day. She is at a university, and I am online enrolled at a community college. I have worked as a Medical Assistant for 17 years and have been blessed to have been taught by some of the best physicians and nurses in Indianapolis. I frequently find myself orienting and teaching nurses how to their job duties. I am well-seasoned with a passion to make a difference but do not have the degree there is no growth opportunity for me. You are absolutely right; I will need to earn a master's degree. Prior to watching this video, I was thinking bachelor's, but I know now I am going higher. I am enrolled as a pre nursing student because that's what the advisor selected for me, I have no interest in being a nurse, it's a logical choice since I know the material. But my passion is making a difference by identifying what's broken, developing a system, and implementing it to see progress made. Thank you for your story, it was motivating and lined up with what I already consulting with God about. I wish you well!

Im so glad, that i stumbled across your channel. I've always advocated for one of my Aunts for at least 5 years until she recently passed away in January 2024. Im getting my Bachelors of Healthcare Administration since November 2023. So far it has been a great experience.

I love that you're addressing the mistakes candidates often make when transitioning to different careers. It's essential to approach the job search with a fresh mindset and avoid falling into these traps. Thank you for the helpful advice!

What a beautiful woman and powerfull testimony! I am a nurse currently but looking to step away from the bedside role and enter into administration. I know that will require me to go back to school but I was lost on where to begin. Your video provided awesome insight! I am looking forward to digging into your channel some more. Thank you again for making this video!

So grateful for you and the information you’re sharing. I’m considering a career transition into healthcare administration and trying to learn everything I can. So glad I found your channel. 😊

I loved this whole video from beginning to end. It’s definitely giving “follow your passion” when you were discussing choosing your path of study. Leadership is about service and you seem like you are an ideal candidate. It makes me so happy to see healthcare leaders who have the heart that you do. I have a BS in Psych and will be starting my MHA in the fall. Definitely very excited about this journey. I hope to see more content from you soon!

Thank youuuuu so much. I'm currently a executive assistant in peds. Working on my bachelor's in health science with 10 yrs experience. This is just what I needed to hear and see.

You're an amazing story teller

we share the same experience and the same expression feeling about matters of concern . thank you .

thank you you have changed my mindset positively

Great testimony sis. I’m currently getting my bachelors in healthcare management

I came across your channel just now, very inspiring and educative and this made me hit the subscription button immediately. This is what I've been looking for. Also I''m so sorry for your loss. May God give you and the entire family the heart to bear your loss

What a story! Thank you for sharing. I was thinking about doing Healthcare Administration but wasn't sure. This helped me to get a better insight.

Thank you for sharing your story and advice. I have recently returned to college to get into health management. Your videos are incredibly insightful and inspiring. Cheers!

This story is not too long. Great story. God bless you. This definitely helped me make my decision on my major.

Your story is so inspiring.. I am going to school now to be a health care administrator.. I thank you for sharing I plan on watching all of your videos!!!!

Thank you so much for posting this. This is my reminder from God to keep going with my studies.💜

Thank you for this video it is very inspiring and informative. I am beginning my application for MHA program. I have 14 years of experience and currently working as a Registered Medical Assistant. I finished my bachelor in Healthcare Administration in 2019 with hopes of getting into a accelerated nursing program. I competed most of my prerequisites for the ABSN program. I was inpatient working as a Nurse tech with 2 degrees Medical Assistant Management and now a bachelors degree. I said nope I have to get out of here and work outpatient. I started working with these two managers that had no leadership skills the office was a mess the doctors spoke down to us etc. I said I can do your job and I know I can! Fast forward Covid then another baby I got my Health Information Management Associate degree to gain more of the coding and billing side. I had my daughter and once I was ready to begin work it has been hard to find a management position or something related to leadership such as you said they want a Masters! I love patient care I want to advocated, lead, train mentor create police's amend then etc. I was on a committee while being a nurse tech and it changed my whole outlook on the administrative part of healthcare. Any tips on getting out of the MA role to leadership? What to look for and what not?! Sorry for the long comment and I hope you read it. 😊

Thanks for posting , I will be in school in December trying to get my associates in healthcare admin first then get the bachelors❤

Thank you for this video as I'm looking into a Masters of Healthcare administration or Organizational leadership.

You are very well spoken

Your story really inspired me…been searching for this course for a while, and I’m motivated wt ur story.

I love your energy! I just started my MBA recently and I work in managed care.

Hey I loved your story about your mom❤ this is exactly the same way I am about mine lol😂. I am a recent grad with a B.S in health sciences and I am having trouble finding an entry level position that makes a decent amount of money. I have administrative experience and I feel like I’m settling when it comes to working in health admin because all the jobs I’m seeing don’t even require a degree.

New here. Trying to get in the field. Buuuùut, you went from 600 subs to over almost 2k in one year. Yeah, you'll get my view/sub for sure!

Loved every bit of this conversation! Thank you for sharing your story! Congratulations ❤

It is my first time here!! Absolutely loveeeeee your content 💥💥💥 It resonates deeply with me and I'm inspired 👌👌

This was so beneficial for me. Thank you so much! This was confirmation for me to go after a masters degree

I just came across this video, thank you very much!! I really appreciate this 🙏

Good story advocating for ur mother I bet that scared them had the big boss come in straight shook I’m thinking about going to school for this I advocate for myself and others when needed in healthcare it’s important that a person treats and respects a person as they want too and if not you got a boss that got a boss and those big dogs don’t like when they employees are giving trouble great story

I am working on tranisitioning into the health OSHA side of healthcare, where my years of service as a Safety Director can be utilized in a higher magnitude, with Incident/Crisis & Disaster management training to revolutionize the way in which the hospital infrastructure responds in times of Crisis. The best way would be through change in having a more patient centered environement , which is where you can truly see a shift in the culture within the healthcare industry. HCAPS are a great stride to have but it is only as good as actually putting the patients first. I would also go further to say that the ability to enhance inpatient turnover, with a higher quality of diagnosis verification, Quality of service, Quality of accurate bedside manner can increase the healing ratio depending on diagnosis for many in patients, all while reducing the number of inpatient exposure to infection and bacteria. Higher quality of nursing services and ensuring proper turning and re-positioning to the those patients unable to do so on their own. This process will also reduce the number of bedsore cases all while preventing dehiscence or breakdown of the patients skin or bedsore ulceration further causing the need of woundcare services.

I truly appreciate your content. Your story is inspiring. I had the same thing happen to my uncle I was advocating for his care as Legal Care Giver although, I was much older an in the medical field there was not much that could of been done, due to the flare of COVID-19 cases at the time.

Love you girl, really love ur story

Very helpful thank you 🙏🏽

Great story 💯🏅 great journey

impressive

it is very attainable. thank you so much for this, my journey just getting started but been in healthcare 10 years!

I’m not sure if you’ll see this. I graduated with a Bachelor of science in healthcare management. Currently I’m in school for MHA. I have been trying to find a position in management/administration. I’m passionate about this field, however it is nearly impossible to land anything. Most employers are looking for people with 5+ years experience and do not want a person who’s new (I have bedside experience). Do you have any tips or suggestions on how I can land a job?

Hello, thank you so much for sharing such informative information. I am currently majoring in business administration and was thinking of changing it to health care administration. I have one year left. do you think it would be wise to change it or can i still achieve the same goal with either in health care

This video means so much to me, ❤.

Hi where did you get your License

I will be pursuing Ms in healthcare administration at university of Houston -Clearlake as an international student this summer it is a non stem program any suggestions for me

WHAT IS YOUR VIEWS ABOUT INTRODUCING HEALTH INFORMATICS AND ADMINISTRATION TO CLINICAL MEDICAL STUDENTS ESPECIALLY IN THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Hi, sorry for the long message. I’ve tried to go for nursing but I don’t like it, because it’s a lot of studying and memorizing and I’ve failed some of my A&P classes. I then thought I would go for business but am honestly not sure what business I’d want to work at, then I thought about doing business in healthcare so I am now in the health service administration but I’m not sure if I’d like that, I feel like I’m not a leader type of person. I thought it would be more of a receptionist paperwork type of job. I’m also not very good at finance which I’m assuming you need to be good at. I also feel like healthcare might be kind of limiting in terms of business type jobs so I was thinking of switching to a business management degree so I could work at any type of business. I’m curious what your thoughts are. Are you able to work in healthcare with a business degree or only with a degree in healthcare? And do you have to get a masters? Is it even worth being in healthcare administration if you don’t have a masters? If you respond thanks 💖

Hello Dr. Owie I'm currently working as a Basic Life Support (BLS) Paramedic at one of the leading private companies in South Africa. I want to know or i'm asking for some advice - I am about to enrol for Healthcare Services Management Course. As a Paramedic, should i enrol or thic course is strictly for Nurses? Thank you Dr.

I love your story.

Very helpful

Righteous Anger! Your story about your mom really touched me, I nearly cried. This is the difference I want to make in the world. I hate my current career I’m deciding whether or not I should stay in Tech or transition in Health Administration.

If you dont mind can you tell me your sun sign like which month were you born. Got me bit curious about your life.

Thank you so much for your content I am really learning a lot, but my question is how can I transition from a bachelors degree in Agric to masters in healthcare administration in information management thanks

This was good

People. Please TRANSFER your loved ones out before you complain.... for obvious reasons. I'll put it like this... health care workers are DARK

Masters in Healthcare Administration. Finishing up my Doctorate in healthcare management. I have 20 years as a Respiratory Therapist. Looking for the right position. Thanks for your videos.

I cried during you story about your mom ❤ also gave me a different perspective of what i thought healthcare admin entails

The story is not too long, you daddy is really a classic Nigerian dad, and the Nigerian in you is loud. Very insightful and educative.

My name is Jevonne, I’m currently a senior Pursuing my Bachelors in Finance with a Minor in Businesses Administration and management. After graduating I want to Obtain my Masters in Healthcare Administration so I truly appreciate this video. It helped me to solidify my decision of furthering my Career in the healthcare field.

Thank you for sharing this. I have been searching for a career I can do. I am almost 55 years old and starting my life over. I will be starting from my Associates and then going for my Bachelors. I use to be my Dad's advocate in the hospital during heis 9 month journey with cancer and so many people told me during that time I should go for Business Management or Administration since I was so strong in my personality and drive to make sure my Dad's care is the best. Advocacy is a HUGE thing for me. The fact you spoke of the Holy Spirit, I feel I was led to this video tonight and I thank God for sending me to hear and to watch you. I have subscribed to your channel and will definitely be watching in the future so you can mentor me during my journey. P.S... Also..I laugh the CEO part.. I actually found a hospital Director one day to make sure the care given was the best... nurses called me a pitbull lol...

I’ve been a CNA for over 25 years afraid to go back to school because of my age. I’m now 54 and decided after a very long time to stop wasting more time. as a CNA I have seen so much that can be done better, so instead of complaining, I now sit back and wait til I’m able to make some changes for the good. no lie! I’m still scared, lol 😊 but Nov 5 I will be officially enrolled in a BSA program for Health Administration Management. Watching version like this gives me courage

Hi Dr., That part where you said you have a Nigerian dad and Nigerians only recognise 4 occupations, is so true. For instance, i am a Nigerian too, and my parents did want me to be a Lawyer (at the time I was going to college, I didn't know what i wanted to study). So I did study Law. Graduated, got called to the bar, and now that I want to apply for Masters, my father doesn't want me to study any other profession. I recommended that I want to study nursing, my father was livid (saying he won't waste his resources on me because I'm lazy, lol 😂), while my mom is more concerned about how people would address me for being a nurse. I don't even know what reaction I'd get if I tell them that I'd love to try Health Administration, lol. It's really crazy how Nigerian parents can be. I really do need your advice on the career path I should take: I love Law (don't get me wrong) but it's not something I'd practice (unless it's on health law). As for nursing, it is a lot of stress and I don't know if I can cope with stress well. Health Administration is also something I'm looking at but I don't know how to break the news to my fam.

I am very sorry about the loss of your mom ❤ Your "why" for venturing into Healthcare Administration is noble. Mine is similar in that I am tired of poor care and bad attitides in healthcare. I actually got into healthcare with divine intervention from God. I was going to be a Community Social Worker at the end of my Bachelor's Degree. My first intership fell through and led me into healthcare. Even my volunteer work was supposed to be in the community and guess what, they put me working their hospital educational program for single mothers. Led me to 12 years now in healthcare. I wondered upon your videos...not by accident I am sure...it is a God thing. You see I somewhat feel inferior to nursing healthcare administration candidates. I was once a pre-nursing student college drop-out, when I became a mother and a wife very early. I was so stretched thin at the time I stained my bachelor's transcript with improperly quitting and it took me several years before I went back with a new wind from God. I switched majors, leaving the stains on my transcript. However, my grades were 👆🏾 up from there. I still wanted to stay away from healthcare. I was thinking nursing was the main thing to be in healthcare. God showed me different from all the healthcare experience I have gained in internship, volunteer work, and my career thus far. I am a social worker in healthcare. From this I gained a passion to lead in this field because I often am the problem solver, the one the patient and family feels comfortable sharing a grievance or problem with, and the one who respects and supports all my colleagues from the lowest to highest paid positions. I genuinely see the equal value they all have and treat them as such. My concern has been seeing nurses promoted more than non-nursing into healthcare leadership. Despite me being a licensed professional myself, that and my age concern me. I already crossed the 40 threshold. Nevertheless, I have done well with my MBA, GPA is great. I graduate in about 3 weeks. My concentration is Healthcare Adminstration, and I am seeking out certifications to set myself apart. I am appreciating your content thus far. It has gotten me out of my feelings and back into action. God bless you!

Wow! I truly believe God has led me here. I have a Bachelor's in Pharmacology but I plan to get my masters in HA or Healthcare Management. I've always believed that if you want there to be a change, you've got to get to the top and make that change yourself and that's exactly what you did with your mom. I admire your spirit and I tap from your grace! Much love from Nigeria! May we one day change Nigeria for the better!

Thank you for sharing, I currently have 5 semesters left to complete my bachelors in healthcare management, I’m so excited

I just got my masters in healthcare management but still seems challenging to find a career 😢 hoping your videos find me a excellent career

Thank you for sharing your story! I’m 23 and I’m wrapping up a dual masters in public health and public admin. I’ve always been big on health policy, minority health, and HIV but I see myself taking a pit stop at hospital admin because policy doesn’t bring about the immediate changes I want to see in our healthcare system. I hope to start the DrPH Fall 2025 and continue to work in the policy/regulatory space full time to fund my degree. I’d love to hear any advice you could give younger Black women who are navigating these spaces and have their race/gender/age working against them despite their experience.

I am very interested in wanting to start the Healthcare management program. I am starting school all over in my 30s. I have a masters in Adult Education and working for the govt but wanting to get into medical someway. Thanks for the inspiration.

Beautiful and inspiring story , thanks for sharing ❤

Hello Dr. Owie, is there any way I can get in touch with you for a consult on DHA. I have been listening to your talks and would love to connect.

Truly Inspiring❤

Rights of a persons body whether in reproduction , mental health, disability and all manner of deeply personal decisions needs to be of consent and proper process. There are many times in history like eugenics or false hierarchies… or evil clinical studies of mental health or holocaust or Slavery… so many reasons for better rights and health interoperability. The economics are extensions Of this reality. .

Very informative and encouraging. Well done!

Brilliant video. Very inspiring

Absolutely enjoyed your story!

Can anyone help me to get information about study in healthcare administration. I am from business studies background and did BBA and MBA. NOW I am working in a healthcare company as Admin. So question is "Will it be easy for me to do my masters in health care administration or only Mbbs students can do it?

I'm a Patient Care Tech Manager & Medical Records Clerk at a Drug & Alcohol and Eating Disorder Rehab. I want to gain a degree in Health Administration because I feel this education would improve my managerial skills and give me education on paper to contribute to my career. If I already have a career such as this, would you think a Healthcare Admin would provide opportunities to grow? Also, I am a dancer as well!!!!

Wow meeting the ceo of the hospital because he took an alternative elevator! That can ONLY be God!! This story is amazing. I would love to connect with you. I’m a nurse in NJ looking to transition into health care management

I love her stories and sharing, thank you.

One can one do to potentially increase their chances of landing an entry level administration role? I currently have a MHA degree and have 4 years experience in the PFS(Patient Financial Services) side of things

Wow! C’mon God really doesn’t play about His children 👏🏽👏🏽

Working as a “consultant” in healthcare for years… you see a lot… a lot of hard working people in difficult conditions; it’s a lot to take in. And, the process of change management in deeply personal realities and in areas real need and the work can NOT stop. It’s very real and affects all manners of work, and healthcare affects community in multiple streams of efforts and effects.

I’m actually going to college for health services administration I’m actually excited to learn more so definitely I subscribed

Great content!!! I'm working now as a director of accounting for a healthcare facility. I may go back to school for another degree in Healthcare Administration.

I need your help i went back to nursing school but i have a masters in Healthcare admin.for many years now, but i never landed a job in it.

Thank you for your valuable testimony. Could you share more about the program abroad in London?

Thank you so much. I will be starting my master's in health administration this spring. You have been my motiviator.

your channel has inspired me to sign up to complete my degree

Thank you for your advice great video

I had to pause at the end of your moms story because: a. it brought me to tears and b. this is exactly why I chose hospital administration... I believe God's purpose for me is to advocate for patients like these who are sick, helpless and being mistreated. You are so inspiring, I can't wait to learn more from you

When you spoke about your mother , you brought me back to when I busing my mom before her passing, it seems like we have the same story.

Love your story very very inspiring. Plan to take same directions

Thank you for sharing your story, the visit with the CEO on the elevator was a real God moment

What is your insight to give to new people in Healthcare administrator and how did you Navigate for the success and achievement of your career. Thank you
