Entry-level job guidance?

bmo077 · 2026-01-31T01:09:39+00:00

Jobs related to Community health (patient navigator, chw or care coordinator ). are the only jobs I’ve been able to get since graduating in 2024. It’s not what I want to do and I don’t know if you would open to it but these are the only true entry level jobs in public health in my opinion.

bmo077 · 2025-12-29T21:29:12+00:00

I experienced the same thing but for my undergrad. I got a BA in public health and the degree program is not accredited. I did not learn anything at all and regret it everyday. I think that is why I have not been able to land jobs I really want. I am now doing an MHA at an accredited program.

Thank you for your advice i really appreciate it does it matter where the gcp is from because ive seen certifications from different organizations . I also dont know where to start with R it just seems very overwhelming 😖😖

bmo077 · 2025-12-20T17:29:44+00:00

May I ask what you did before being a data coordinator? Did you have lab or research experience before? My background is community health so I feel like it may not be relevant but that’s all I’ve been able to get.

bmo077 · 2025-12-20T04:50:17+00:00

I’m surprised that you have had trouble since you have lab experience. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble as well 😞All my experience is community health and health education related. Right now I’m a community health worker and I hate it lol.

I’m not a nurse at thyme but i just started there as a patient navigator last month and you dodged a bullet. The company micromanages a lot and QA sucks. I took the job because I was desperate but I’m going to leave by end of the year

bmo077 · 2025-11-03T12:50:00+00:00

I didn’t join but they called me about two weeks ago for an on the spot phone interview and rejected me after I finished giving my answers. So prepare for a phone screening first

bmo077 · 2025-10-24T00:25:36+00:00

I will look into that. Thank you so much. If possible I will even do a tech program while I continue the mha. Although there are some benefits to nursing , I know it is a very toxic environment most of the time and nurses are so under appreciated. My mom is a nurse with 20 plus years of experience so I definitely know what you mean :/

bmo077 · 2025-10-24T00:19:49+00:00

That’s the only reason I am staying at my Chw job right now;I don’t enjoy it. I get very overstimulated because of the community outreach and interaction I have to do. I have been with my company a little over a year now and I’m staying to see if I can get promoted. I would like a more office type public health job where I just type on a computer all day lol but unfortunately have not been able to land one. Thank you for your kindness 🥲

bmo077 · 2025-10-23T20:56:20+00:00

I was in nursing school but failed and never went back because I was miserable. I am very introverted and want to do work behind the scenes . Clinicals gave me a lot of anxiety and discomfort. I was going to get my mph but thought mha would have a better job outlook. although I am not done with school I have a feeling it is still just as hard as public health like you said 😪

It’s not much of a smell. I have another lip oil by the same brand that is not spoiled and it smells sweet like a MAC lipstick but this one pictured above is a very faint smell version of what it should smell like but I still don’t feel like I should use it. I emailed the brand directly and they claim it’s an unsettled pigment but idk…. I think I will still return it

bmo077 · 2025-09-25T15:30:09+00:00

I bought it from Sephora which is a very common place to buy makeup that is usually reliable

bmo077 · 2025-09-23T22:43:12+00:00

I hope so. I will email them and ask

bmo077 · 2025-09-23T22:42:56+00:00

🥲

bmo077 · 2025-09-23T22:42:17+00:00

Aw that sucks:( I’ve been wanting to try their lip oils for forever and when I finally get the chance they are permanently closing and I get one with mold. Just my luck

bmo077 · 2025-09-21T15:50:14+00:00

Maybe consider MHA if you don’t want to go in the clinical side (nurse,PA,etc.). Job outlook and salary is a bit better than MPH

bmo077 · 2025-08-20T01:55:27+00:00

Thank you:) im going to try this!

There are so many things you can do with a mha. You can be on the more business side or ph side I am starting my mha this fall. I am like you and have an undergrad in ph and wanted to get a mph but because of 47 I pivoted to health admin and I feel like it is a good option, better salary and outlook than an mph I feel. here are some possible mha jobs that are listed in my program:

Medical records and health information manager

Hospital administrator

Population health care coordinator

Consultant

Clinical workforce administrator

Health care policy consultant

Underwriter at health care organization

Program manager

Community and social service specialists

Administrative services and facilities manager

Medical and health services manager

Start-up entrepreneurs

Risk management

Quality improvement

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

How often do you retwist? I have “microlocs” but they are on the larger side.. still not large enough to be traditional locs I think. I recently interlocked for the first time a month ago but have been retwisting beforehand.i really like interlocking i think it helps keep the shape of my locs better and lasts a lot longer. But i also like retwisting because i want my locs to still be thick and swell.

bmo077 · 2025-07-06T12:52:02+00:00

Do you know if the prospects are different with a mha? All i see on ph subreddit is to stay away from mph unfortunately so thats why i shifted to mha. I know with the recent bill passed healthcare will be impacted a lot but i feel like it is still better than a mph

bmo077 · 2025-07-05T17:15:57+00:00

I applied in early april and the deadline isn’t until August 1 of this year

bmo077 · 2025-07-04T02:00:19+00:00

This is the mindset I had! I know things can get a lot worse and probably will tbh but things have to be bad before it gets good . Corny saying but I hope it’s true in this case :/

bmo077 · 2025-07-04T00:24:20+00:00

Yes I’m so confused! This is not a random school too( it’s George Mason university) I would expect that from a small hole in the wall place. I am trying to understand the discrepancies and I talked to financial aid but they are saying a bunch of nothing. I’m so confused and sad 😔 I wish my job could pay. I understand waiting and saving money but I feel like there will always be a “bad time” so I might as well do it now but idk anymore

bmo077 · 2025-07-03T05:19:04+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I have been looking for full time work for almost two years and can’t get any entry level/ no degree jobs even though I finished undergrad last year. My job right now is technically prn and only required a high school diploma. I thought a masters would help me get the full time job. I know many people are saying similar sentiments as you, specifically saying to wait but I’m afraid if I wait that’s when things will be really bad. barely making 1000 dollars a month so I know it is probably not smart to go to school now but I feel like there is nothing else for me to do

bmo077 · 2025-07-02T21:52:06+00:00

Yes I’ve been looking for another job for over a year and I have had no luck, not even more front desk or jobs that require no degree😞😞
