A master’s degree in public health offers a unique and differentiated skillset for nurses looking to advance their careers. Likewise, the experience that comes with working as a registered nurse can provide a fantastic background for a career in public health. If you\u2019re a nurse today and looking to expand your skills, increase your earning potential, and open doors to new work environments, pursuing a master\u2019s in public health degree could be the perfect next step to advance your career.<\/p>\n

A master\u2019s in public health offers a rounded curriculum including how to improve public health by managing public health programs, influencing policy, and in general, immersing oneself in challenging and wide-ranging public health issues. Earning a master\u2019s degree doesn\u2019t have to take years or come with an enormous cost either. With\u202fGoodwin University\u2019s MPH\u202fprogram<\/a>, students can complete their course of study in 12 to 15 months at an accelerated rate and fully online. RNs with an MPH can position their patient-interface skills towards community health efforts and apply the skills they\u2019ve mastered to this rewarding trade. Nurses with an MPH degree are great \u201cdouble threat\u201d candidates for a number of rewarding public health careers like:<\/p>\n

1. Public health nurse<\/h2>\n

Public health nurses make up the largest segment of the public health workforce. They are found in professional environments including clinics, community health centers, schools, at-home healthcare, schools, and in traveling roles. In all of these different possible work environments, public health nurses are called upon to implement policies and programs that aid vulnerable populations. RNs with an MPH offer the perfect combination for leadership in this area because their backgrounds blend health services with social science. Public health nurses are often concerned with health equity, meaning they seek to remove boundaries that inhibit health access and quality for diverse populations. Those experiencing poverty or the impacts of racism, can unfortunately become victims of systemically caused healthcare crises, and therefore are of particular importance to the public health nurse. Public health nurses also have an important role to play in\u202fpromoting advocacy<\/a>,\u202fnot just personally, but by becoming educated in policy and federal lawmaking.<\/p>\n

2. Health policy developer<\/h2>\n

The enforcement of public health policies begins with writing them! It\u2019s not difficult to identify health problems in many communities, such as obesity, heart disease, food insecurity, smoking, and substance misuse. It\u2019s the health policy developer\u2019s responsibility to use evidence-based research to address rampant community health issues with programs that improve the overall health of community members. For example, in 2018, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion endeavored to raise the minimum smoking age from 18 to 21. Only 9 states had laws in place that restricted the sale of tobacco to 21 years and up. Per recent data,\u202f42 states<\/a>\u202fnow implement such rules. Other national health policy initiatives address public health concerns such as ensuring access to safe drinking water and adding fluoride to water systems to improve oral health. Since RNs have a background in patient care and are invested in minimizing health inhibitors, RNs with public health training might gravitate towards policy development, whether at the federal, state, or local level.<\/p>\n

3. Environmental health officer<\/h2>\n

In this big-picture leadership role, environmental health officers work in occupational health and safety, public health emergency planning, and industrial hygiene management. They respond to public health crises with multi-pronged efforts for instituting preventative measures and responding to the impacts of environmental hazards. RNs are already well-trained in the human response to unhealthy environments. An RN background reinforced by a public health curriculum\u202f<\/a>that includes\u202fEmergency Management Health Issues and courses from either the Health Policy and Management or Community Health Concentrations, would lay excellent groundwork for employment as an environmental health officer.<\/p>\n

4. Epidemiologist<\/h2>\n

RNs may wish to unleash their inner researcher to discover patterns and solutions to chronic and infectious diseases and other endemic health risks and problems. For example, an epidemiologist might construct fieldwork studies and collaborate with public health leaders to collect samples from community members. They might focus on disease analysis or work with a specific population-based struggle, such as maternal and infant health in a community subset. Epidemiologists analyze data and publish reports to publicize their findings. Epidemiologists are often employed at federal agencies such as the\u202fCenters for Disease Control and Prevention\u202f<\/a>or the\u202fNational Institutes of Health<\/a>, or for independent or academic labs and research centers. While\u202fRNs\u202f<\/a>and epidemiologists make a similar average wage annually in the United States, epidemiologists have the opportunity to make up to\u202f$40k more<\/a>\u202fthan the highest earning potential for an RN by working in scientific research and development services.<\/p>\n

5. Public health director<\/h2>\n

For RNs who have an interest in organizing public health responses\u2014from a program\u2019s conception to its implementation\u2014the\u202fpublic health director’s<\/a>\u202fjob could be just right. Public health directors are found in government settings as well as hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, mental health institutions, and crisis centers. The public health director’s role is appealing to RNs who prefer the administrative side of healthcare, and who have a passion for team building and departmental leadership. Like public health nurses, public health directors must stay up to date on developing legislation related to public health, not to mention maintain excellent working relationships with fellow public service, health care, and community institutions and organizations. Public health directors promote and foster the health of their community members through holistic avenues that integrate members\u2019 mental, physical, and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n
