Hi, I am an ADN/RN with atleat three years of undergraduate credits. I am interested in doing the MPH program without having to do the BSN degree completetion. Is there any MPH program out there that will take the ADN/RN's directly?? Please help!

It sounds like to me you are looking into the managerial posts. Definately, BSN/MPH would be an advantage over the ADN/MPH. Did you also know that with your MPH you can earn an MSN in almost the same time you would use for earning the BSN?

You don't need a BSN to qualify for a MPH but you do need a bachelor's degree in something. You can see if the credits you already have apply to any other major that might interest you.

I'm working on my MPH & TM (tropical medicine) right now. The only reason I completed my BSN was to get into the public health program, and it was much easier for me to get a bachelors in nursing than anything else.

That being said, I'm glad I have a BSN now, and the coursework for the BSN has helped with the public health material.
