Nursing Home Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities:

Nursing home administration is a specialized area of medical and health services management. Nursing home administrators work to supervise clinical and administrative affairs of nursing homes and related facilities. Typical duties of nursing home administrators include overseeing staff and personnel, financial matters, medical care, medical supplies, facilities, and other duties as specific positions demand.

Salary: $95,670.

Education:

A four-year bachelor's degree and passing a state licensing examination will be required. Larger employers or more advanced positions may require a master's degree. While the requirements to become a nursing home administrator vary by place of employment and state, a four-year bachelor's degree in a field like health services administration, public administration, or long-term care administration is a standard credential for a nursing home administrator. After completing a state-approved program, most states also require that nursing home administrators pass licensing exams.

I would not like to work in this field because I think it’s a very big responsibility that I rather not take in respect to age of my patients.
