NP to work for Preventative Health
-
0 What kind of RN work or Masters should I pursue if I'm interested in Preventative health? I want to work with people who are either in their active phase of their healing or in their preventative state. I appreciate your comments. Thanks.

0Apr 17, '09 by zahryiaI think you want to work in a health promotion/disease prevention capacity. Because those programs/approaches don't necessarily involve clinical skills, I would think an MPH would serve you better than becoming an NP.
I think the above poster meant 'behavioral health'.
