Hi all,
I apologize if this has been asked before but I tried the search function and was unable to find anything. I was just accepted back to school so I am planning to leave my career to go back full-time and take my pre-reqs.
My question is about EC's and whether I need to do additional while I am in school. When I leave work I will have worked at hospitals for the last thirteen years including the last three as Chief Operating Officer. These hospitals have ranged from a small highly rural hospital to a a 600 bed academic medical center where I managed a $800M budget and had over 2000 staff in my services. I worked my way in to the position over ten years after starting as a Housekeeper so I have demonstrated the ability to move up.
Although I have some clinical experience (the quality department reported to me) and have been involved in a lot of clinical committees and decision making I don't have any direct patient care. Should I volunteer or shadow while I am going to school? I don't mind doing it but I would prefer to focus on my classes to ensure a great GPA since I am leaving my career for this.
Thanks.
