Nursing Home Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities:

Administrators must possess a working knowledge of the physical 

and psychological effects of the aging process. This allows nursing home administrators to implement the necessary nursing care, drug administration or rehabilitation to successfully treat a resident or improve their standard of living. They must ensure quality care for a resident by communicating instructions or results as needed from both parties, while also ensuring frequent visits by nurses and physicians. 

Salary:

A mid-career nursing home administrator should expect to earn between $65,000 and $90,000, though some earn more than $100,000.

Education:

A nursing home administrator requires a minimum of a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration. However, most nursing home administrators have master's degrees in long-term care administration, health services administration, public health or business administration.

Reflection:

I would like to be a Nursing Home Administrator for some time. I like helping people and taking care of people. Even if it was just volunteer work I would love to do it.
