Definitely follow rachel83az's advice above as the folks here are awesome at helping others reach their educational goals in the quickest and most cost-effective ways possible. I'd like to offer my experience as a healthcare professional with nearly 20 years in the field. Honestly, a bachelor's won't get you very far in healthcare administration unless you have an extensive background and track record of success already. I started out with my ADN, then received my BSN. I was a director of nursing (DON) for several years before completing my MHA in May. I now work as an administrator in my regional hospital. Everyone else with my job title in our hospital system, including our CEO, holds either an MBA or MHA. Personally, I'd get the quickest undergrad degree possible (business admin is what I would recommend) and move on to the MHA or MBA in order to be competitive. Some experience in the healthcare field would also be of great benefit.
