Combining Multiple Credentials Into One Career

Published

How can one combine their RN and law licenses with their degrees in health services administration, health education & promotion, industrial & organizational psychology, public health, clinical exercise physiology, nutrition & dietetics, and applied behavior analysis?

One can stop going to school and go to work.

 

Who says one does not work?

Specializes in Nurse Leader specializing in Labor & Delivery.

You have 9 completely separate degrees, is that correct? How much student loan debt do you have?

With a nursing and JD degree, the obvious choice would be legal nurse consulting or medical malpractice law, but that requires expertise in a specific area of nursing. How long have you been practicing as a nurse?

With all the other degrees thrown in, I dunno....administration?

Specializes in New Critical care NP, Critical care, Med-surg, LTC.

I think the first place to start would be to identify which of these areas of interest would be the primary driver. Unfortunately, in reading the list over, I do not see a truly underlying thread connecting ALL the areas, but I can see that in something like a legal RN role, you could touch on multiple areas depending upon your position and responsibilities. It almost looks as though you could single-handedly run a healthcare system with all of those supporting degrees, but I feel like people with far less education end of being in charge. Good luck finding your right fit!
