Public Health Nurse

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

Hello everyone! new grad here wondering if anyone has advice on what questions to expect for public health nurse interviews? I'm super nervous but hoping I land this position. Did not enjoy acute care during nursing school so I'm absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to interview for a PHN I position. Any suggestions are appreciated :)

Welcome to Public Health Nursing!!! Every PHN interview I ever had included a question to assess my basic understanding of public health. I have also participated in the interview process on a panel, & it is shocking how many nurses believe public health is primary care for the poor. Be prepared to explain why you're choosing public health. Can you clearly articulate the difference between population-based services & tertiary care? Good luck!

Thank you for your input! I am definitely prepared to explain why I'm choosing public health! So nervous but excited for this opportunity to interview :)

Great question Freckled, I too have an interview for a PHN position and was worried about what to expect. Thank you Mariebailey for the info and the link. It sounds like interviewing for a PHN position is a lot different than interviewing for an acute care position.

It's my turn to scour the boards looking for the answer to this question. I have a few weeks to prepare, and this will certainly get me started. Thank you mariebailey for the info. Any other advice out there?
