celizabeth17 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I was recently accepted into a full-time MPH program at USC Arnold in HPEB. My background is in nursing, I graduated about 2 years ago from a BSN program and have been working full-time for about 2 years. After getting into bedside nursing, I realized it wasn't the right fit for me and went into public health to focus more on disease prevention. I am deciding whether or not it would be possible to work during this program, unfortunately with nursing jobs my only options are working 12 hour shifts, so I would be working 2-3 12 hour night shifts a week, 7pm-7am. Do you think this is possible as a full-time student in this program? Thanks!
jonathanb715 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 That sounds really tough. I am in UC Berkeley's online/oncampus part time program, 6 credits a semester, and am finding the workload doable but difficult with a full time job. Doesn't USC also have a very well-regarded part time MPH? My experience with the Berkely equivalent has been really positive, so maybe USC would let you matriculate into their online program instead?
