The Public Health Nurse Workforce in U.S. State and Local Health Departments, 2012.
CONCLUSION: PHNs were reported to have highly variable occupational classifications and educational backgrounds in health departments. Additional training opportunities are needed for PHNs with diploma and associate's degrees. A shortage of PHNs is possible due to retirement eligibility and administrative barriers to recruitment and retention.
