The field of healthcare is growing by leaps and bounds, and the healthcare industry is estimated to contribute around six million new jobs to the workforce over the next decade. This represents a nearly 30 percent growth in jobs from the healthcare field alone. There are many different career paths that a student can take, whether your interest ultimately lies in healthcare administration jobs, healthcare management jobs, or some other facet of the medical and healthcare field. A great place to start can be earning a healthcare administration or healthcare management degree online or offline, which can prepare you to climb to the heights of your chosen career path, regardless of where you may choose to specialize or focus your efforts once you graduate.
However, because some terminology used in healthcare can sound surprisingly similar, including terms such as “administration” and “management,” it can be helpful as well to learn before you enroll in an advanced degree program what the differences are between these terms so you are sure you focus your education towards the correct area.
The Role of Education
Education is one of the major differences between the fields of healthcare management and healthcare administration. Healthcare management professionals are most likely to have an educational background that matches their career, whether that may be management of medical staff, informatics and information technology, oncology research studies, or another area. Healthcare administration professionals, on the other hand, are likely to start out in a more business-related field with an advanced degree to match, such as finance, business management, accounting, marketing, or operations. This also speaks directly to the difference in job description between healthcare managers and administrators.

Do you love your job? Or is it simply something to pay the bills? According to Robin Ryan, career consultant and author of “What to Do With the Rest of Your Life,” over 30 million people in the United States daily attend a job that they hate.
Ryan suggests that these negative feelings towards their jobs make their way into daily life and effect their relationships, social lives and over all satisfaction with their life. Does this describe you? If so, it may be time to change careers and pursue a higher education.
It has become commonly accepted knowledge that the average person will change careers seven to eight times during the course of their lives. Many of these changes are due to job dissatisfaction, which is repeated in their new job. Ryan suggests making your next career change a dramatic one – one that will provide you with a meaningful job that will add significant value to your life.
How Can An Online Degree Change My Life?
Online degrees offer the opportunity for students to pursue higher education while maintaining the responsibilities and duties of daily life. It becomes possible for a dissatisfied employee to create a strategy that helps them safely transition into a new, satisfying career.
What does life-changing really mean? The exact definition is entirely up to you. For some, it may mean earning a more lucrative salary. For others, it may mean helping other people. If you are one of the 30 million Americans that hate their job, it can be assumed that “life-changing” means transitioning to a career that earns both a livable wage and job satisfaction.

As you are considering how best to approach a future career in public health, there are many public health classes online that can offer you a big picture of how the public health field is developing today. Because the field of public health is growing faster than many other fields in a continuing sluggish economy, when you first enter the field after earning your master’s or other advanced public health degree, it can feel overwhelming to pick a career focus.
After You Graduate…
Sometimes doing research before you graduate is the best way to strategize so you can pick your classes, internships, volunteer activities, mentors, and professional associations to guide your resume and your career path towards the aspect of public health you wish to specialize in. This is an invaluable strategy for a nursing professional who wishes to enter the field of public health. Learn here what types of career opportunities there are for nurses in this rewarding and rapidly expanding field, and consider where your interests, aptitudes, and skills in nursing may be leading you.
The basic role of a public health nurse is to build bridges; you will be building bridges between the public and lawmakers, medical professionals, researchers, organizations, corporations and administrators at many levels so that ever more effective prevention, awareness, education, intervention, and wellness information can be disseminated to those who need it and can benefit from it.
Putting Your Degree To Use
With your nursing degree, you will gain valuable information about the human body as it relates to common health threats, both preventable and unavoidable, and with your public health specialization you will gain the ability to use your knowledge each day to help people stay healthier and live happier, more productive lives. You can choose to specialize in a number of different areas, from disaster response to general wellness, high-risk populations, individuals and families or even whole communities. You may work on your own as a professional or consultant, or you may join a group or organization that engages the services of a team of public health nurses to promote and advance a specific initiative.
