Thank you for your responses guys. I have been researching what credentials other PHN have in common. Some have MPH some don't. Some even got position straight from a hospital acute care experience. I think my experience is reasonable when compared to other PHN. I guess it is just too many applicants in the field. I looked into going rural public health, but it's really not feasible with family obligations. It's same for obtaining MPH at this time... I'll just have to keep applying and refining my skills and qualifications.

Hello. Are there any public health nursing experts here? I have been in nursing profession several years by now. Been in acute care and community. Recent professional experience made me think about getting into public health nursing. When I graduated nursing school, I was not interested in public health at all and went into acute care. After seeing both acute care and community health nursing, I realized that public health is where I am meant to be. so I started sending resumes to job postings with no luck. can you guide me how I can get my foot into public health nursing? I have... bachelor of nursing community health nursing certificate community health nursing experience What else do I need? any suggestions for CE course to boost my resume? Do I need a master's degree in public health? Any advice will be appreciated!
