DEFINITION Under general supervision or direction, provides a full range of professional nursing practices promoting and protecting the health of populations using knowledge from nursing as well as social and public health sciences, including the delivery of clinical, community, field, and population based intervention; licensed case management; data collection and analysis; program planning; and outreach and health promotion activities at all levels of prevention in connection with the mitigation of diseases and the development of healthy lifestyles; and performs related duties as assigned. SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED Receives general supervision or direction from a Public Health Nurse Supervisor or other assigned licensed management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff. May provide technical and functional direction to lower-level staff. CLASS CHARACTERISTICS Public Health Nurse I : This is the entry-level classification in the Public Health Nurse class series. Initially under general supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine public health nursing duties, as well as the provision of preventive health services, including but not limited to vaccination, health screening, early intervention to promote positive lifestyle choices, health education and acute disease intervention in the form of communicable/infectious illness identification, treatment and control, crisis intervention to mitigate adverse health events affecting children and adults. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II-level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Public Health Nurse II : This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Public Health Nurse class series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently and under less supervision than the I-level, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. This class is further distinguished from the Public Health Nurse Supervisor in that the latter is the full supervisory-level class in the series that has responsibility for the assignment, supervision, and evaluation of the work of assigned professional, technical, and administrative support personnel as well as programmatic and budgetary administration duties. Positions in the Public Health Nurse class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the I-level, after gaining the knowledge, skill, and experience which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
