When the economy takes a slump, students turn to the education industry as a means to evacuate their unemployment (or less-than-desirable income from their current job); a great thing for colleges that are struggling with the economy themselves and need the student body. It's a win-win situation, right? And what with everyone walking around with a Bachelor's Degree these days, the Master's Degree is the next on the academic food chain. Master's Degree enrollment rates are higher than ever. But not all degrees pay out their investment. A Master of Arts in Literature, for example, isn't going to glean much benefit unless the graduate is the next best-selling novelist; better off that a B.A. in English pursue a Master's Degree in education. M.A.'s in the social sciences generally don't do well either, at least not as well as the C.S.W. or, better yet, the M.B.A. When students pursue a Master's Degree program, it should be perceived as more than the educational evacuation port from the bad economy.]]> http://blog.degreego.com/2009/12/08/not-all-masters-degrees-are-created-equal/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/12/01/american-sentinel-university-education-in-health-care/ http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/12/01/american-sentinel-university-education-in-health-care/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:43:07 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/?p=237 American Sentinel University--is within reach for even the busiest student.

Sometimes a vocational training program or certificate program is all the aspiring healthcare worker needs to get started in an exciting and expanding field. Southern Careers Institute is a vocational training school in the south that offers several quick-and-precise learning programs just like that. These vocational training programs prepare the student for entry-level work in healthcare and offer job placement to boot. Here are some of the medical programs available:]]> http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/11/16/texas-technical-schools-healthcare/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/10/30/five-spookiest-healthcare-careers/ http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/10/30/five-spookiest-healthcare-careers/#comments Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:22:19 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/?p=215 Happy Halloween from the Degrees in Healthcare blog!

GE's CEO announced last May the company's intentions to spend over $6 billion to further expand into the health care industry, although the specific direction of the investments were unknown at the time. While The Wall Street Journal predicted that the six billion dollar dive was going towards selling electronic health record systems, CT scanners and other electronic equipment, the money was instead invested into advertising. NBC Universal is launching the "Healthy at NBCU" to go along with GE's new company initiative, "healthymagination," a strategy that combines the health reform of today's society with the technology of the company. Campbell Soup is sponsoring two health series on the TODAY show, with advertisements for "healthy soups," as part of the program. What does this mean for students pursuing health care degrees?]]> http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/10/19/ge-and-healthcare/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/09/23/bachelor-of-science-in-health-care-management/ http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/09/23/bachelor-of-science-in-health-care-management/#comments Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:29:25 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/?p=192 http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/09/23/bachelor-of-science-in-health-care-management/feed/ 0 http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/08/17/healthcare-workers-getting-flu-vaccines/ http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/08/17/healthcare-workers-getting-flu-vaccines/#comments Mon, 17 Aug 2009 22:42:12 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/?p=179 The vaccine for the swine flu is being released mid October. According to a shocking statistic, however, only 45% of healthcare workers will be getting the swine flu vaccine; the other 55% will dip out for the same reason as patients: fear of needles, satisfaction with overall health, or worry about side effects. When going to college for a healthcare degree, remember as a future healthcare worker, it is imperative to uphold a moral code of healthcare practices. Doctors have to agree to a moral code to treat patients, but there are certain practices that are universal even to the vocational training and associate degree level. For example, when you are working in a healthcare environment littered with sick patients, it is in both your interest and your patients' interests to keep up-to-date with vaccines so that you do not become a prime carrier.]]> http://blog.degreesinhealthcare.org/2009/08/17/healthcare-workers-getting-flu-vaccines/feed/ 0
