A Public Health Nurse, under general supervision, performs comprehensive nursing services in preventive health, home health, and clinic programs including assessment, diagnosis, teaching, counseling, and prevention services to individuals, families, and groups to promote health and wellness to clients and residents in the county. An employee in this class exercises considerable independent judgment in the performance of job duties, referring only difficult or unusual problems to supervisory personnel for clinical assistance. During a public health emergency, may be required to report for specialized assigned duties or perform emergency response roles, inside or outside Muskegon County.
