The nursing and health care management dual-degree program.

<p>What exactly does the nursing and health care management dual-degree program entail? Do you take all the required nursing classes that a student in the nursing school would have to take, or is it mediated with Wharton classes? </p>

<p>After graduation, what sort of jobs would a graduate of this dual-degree be looking at? Could you do the dual-degree, but still work as a regular nurse at first? Or would someone be looking at some sort of desk/healthcare job?</p>

<p>It is a mix of classes in both the Nursing school and Wharton. If you dont get accepted into the dual degree program you can add a minor in Health Care Management which includes courses at Wharton. My daughter is doing this but plans to work as a nurse for a few years before going back for grad work.</p>
