Busy professionals are earning MBAs through WWU’s Weekend MBA program

A master’s degree in business may seem like an odd education for a nurse, but for Amanda Crain it was a perfect fit.
Crain, the director of nursing services at the Puget Sound Kidney Centers, is in her final quarter of earning an MBA from Western Washington University’s Weekend MBA program.
Crain earned an associate’s degree in nursing in 2003 and immediately went to work at the Puget Sound Kidney Center. She started as a floor nurse, moved into a direct care manager position a few years later and eventually became director of nursing services. She went back to school and earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing.
