I have started in a city health department (in communicable disease) after years of school nursing. I already have my masters degree, technically an MS, not MSN. I did a program for direct entry into nursing/masters (I had a non-nursing undergrad). I know I am going to spend the rest of my career in public health. I am debating what degree would be most beneficial - an MPH or a DNP (with focus on public health). There are MPH/DNP dual program, but none in my area. Any experience or thoughts? Thanks!
