Education:

You'll need at least a 4-year bachelor's degree and will likely need to pass a state licensing exam. The education vary depending on the state, but a bachelor's degree in health services administration, public administration, or a long term care administration. If you want a higher position then you might need 2-year master's degree, but depending on what position it might be more. After you passed the state-approved program you will need to take an exam for your license. 

Demand:

Nursing Home Administrator has an increase of 17% from 2014-2024. This increase is faster than the average increase for some medical careers. This has a big increase because they take care of the elders of our community and as people grow older we need more nursing home administrator. 

Reflection:

I will not like to become a nursing home administrator. I have a bigger interest in working with kids than with old people. I have nothing against old people because I will become one as well, but I prefer little kids/babies then elders. This is a very important medical career and I hope many young people take an interest in it.
