Thank you so much. Those are some great tips. I will definitely be doing more homework on the county.

Help please! I've been notified for an interview for a Maternal Child and Adolescent PH nurse. I desperately want this position, however, I have no experience in this area of nursing. Any pointers for how I can prepare for this interview would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

How would you answer the interview question, "What is the biggest mistake you've made as a nurse?"

Thank you for the information. I actually had to go on line and order a duplicate copy which cost $30. Bummer that I had to pay since I never got the first one but since it had been over 90 days since my first one was supposedly issued, I had to pay.

About a year ago I applied for my public health license in California. I received my BSN out of state and since my Public Health course wasn't sufficient for the required child abuse course credits, I took a self study course which took a few months for me to complete. In the mean time, they held my application, my transcripts, and my check. Once I completed the course, I then proceeded with the application process and never heard back from the Board of Nursing. I figured maybe I took too long with the self study course. Shortly after, I had to move out of state for 10 months so I decided I would look back into applying again once I returned. I recently moved back to California and knew I needed to submit a change of address with the Board of Nursing. As I went through the website and followed the links to do this, I discovered I had been issued a PHN license back in 2014 after I submitted my self study course certificate. But I never received notification of this whatsoever. You can imagine my excitement as I figured I would be going through the application process all over again. But where is my physical license? Do we actually get one?

Interview question: How would you handle a HS student who confides to you about being pregnant?
