PHN...

I think you misunderstood me. Most if not all, BSN grads (at least in CA) qualify for a PHN certification - that was what I was referring to. And yes, when I say PHN, I am referring to those who hold the certification.

Thanks.

A BSN (and any other type of RN or LVN, I'd assume) is eligible to gain experience in public health nursing and take the extra steps to acquire a certification. They are not, by default, PHNs, as you stated in your earlier post ("every BSN out there is technically PHN").

I don't think that's limited to BSNs. I'm guessing that any RN can qualify for a PHN certification.

I was doing a little research and I was misunderstanding you. Sorry about that. Yes, you are correct in your statments.

Most all BSN qualify for a PHN certification... isn't that PHN???

Are you in california? If you went to a california school with public health as a course in bsn program. Then it qualifies there. however every state is different.
