INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING FOR CERTIFICATION AS A PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE IN CALIFORNIA

Pursuant to Section 2818 (a) of the Business and Professions Code the Legislature recognizes that public health nursing is a service of crucial importance for the health, safety, and sanitation of the population in all of California’s communities. These services currently include, but are not limited to:

• Control and prevention of communicable disease.
• Promotion of maternal, child, and adolescent health.
• Prevention of abuse and neglect of children, elders, and spouses.
• Outreach screening, case management, resource coordination and assessment, and delivery and evaluation of care for individuals, families, and communities.

In addition, Section 2818 (c) states that no individual shall hold himself or herself out as a public health nurse or use a title which includes the term “public health nurse” unless that individual is in possession of a valid California public health nurse certificate issued pursuant to this article.

• A completed Public Health Nurse certification application.
