WGU MBA-HM first impressions and ongoing comments

[dmjacobsen]

good to hear you are still moving along smoothly. I am in the middle of Leadership now (I already submitted my 2 sections of the handbook to the compiler) and just started the Capstone with my capsim team. The capstone seems overwhelming. I am looking at the task 3 submission examples and I have to say that I'm going to have to take a step back and think about what I'm going to do here.

I'm not even thinking about the Capstone at this point, and will likely not try to do any other class concurrently with it. It does look very intimidating, based on previous students' examples. I have a couple of mentors at my new job that I think will be helpful in coming up with ideas.

Oh, that's one thing that I forgot to mention in my last post -- on top of taking two Master's degrees concurrently and having a 5-month old baby, I've decided to jump ship and move away from bedside nursing and into the corporate world. I'm still with the same company, but I'm now a nursing informatics analyst. I think it's going to be a good long-term move for me, by putting me in the middle of various projects with a number of director-level personnel. In the meantime, though, it's a high learning curve, and I'm having to pile on a lot of new information about the behind-the-scenes stuff dealing with Electronic Health Records. Fun stuff.
