Which would you do? And why?

  • Experts

If you were on track to complete a masters degree with a specialization in Adult/Gerontology Acute Care and you wanted to continue your academic career due to wanting to be able to influence policies/research and possibly teach. If you had a strong affinity for pharmacology, infection prevention, epidemiology, data-driven knowledge, numbers, statistics, and medicine, health education, and public health would you obtain a:

 

PhD in nursing 

PhD in epidemiology

DNP Doctor of Nursing Practice

DrPH Doctor of Public Health

 

My understanding is the PhDs are less work related and more research related while the DNPs and DrPHs are more implemented and practical related. My understanding is also that many places will pay YOU to obtain your PhD how true is this? Do you find this to be true with both epidemiology vs nursing?

 

My take is that an termination my education with a doctorate in Epidemiology/Public health would be a good combination as opposed to having all nursing credentials?

Thoughts? Ideas?
