In MS a nurse does not have to be PH certified. I don't know what other areas require. Look up your state's employee website or you can search usajobs.gov for federal positions. I'm a state employee but I have friends that are community health nurs...

:hug: Thank you!

Similar to PTSD. ha ha ha

Way to go!! It's been almost 4 years since I did the CPNE. Sometimes it seems like yesterday.

We have a WIC nurse. She does WIC certifications and signs referrals for PHRM/ISS. I wonder if they will eventually phase out her position. We have two Nutritionist and I do my own WIC for my patients.

I'm the child health nurse at my health department. I do not miss acute care. I help out in Adult Health, STD clinic, Family Planning and Maternity whenever I can. We do a lot of education which I love. There is more to the working in the health depa...

I'm starting the HCSM program in the Fall. :-) A friend of mine was going to start this May but decided to wait and start with me. :hug:

No, it's not all I used. I used a Micro textbook, Microbiology made easy and a used college network study guide to make my flashcards. That is how I learned the material. I also took the EC practice exam which was much harder than the actual exam (i...
