Hi There,

I do not have my undergrad in nursing (my undergrad is in psych).

My career goal is to work as a leader in the community health/health promotion field.

What's the advantage of going through nursing school and then getting my masters in community nursing versus going straight into a MPH program?

My guess is that the nursing degree increases your chances of being hired because you're more marketable.

Does anyone have any info about this issue? Thanks so much! :balloons:

Hmmm...I have no idea! Sorry, just didn't want you to think you were being ignored! Hope someone else has a better response than mine! ;)
