The American Nurses Association "Public Health Nursing: Scope and Standards
of Practice"1 practice guidelines describe the standards of practice,
standards of professional performance and provide measurement criteria for
public health nursing care. These standards of public health nursing
practice are meant to guide, define, and direct health professional nursing
practice in all settings. In order to remain consistent and in alignment with these nationally
recognized standards of public health nursing practice, the Department for
Public Health Administrative Reference "Training Guidelines and Program
Descriptions" chapter provides specific training guidance and program
overviews for the clinical and community health services provided in local
health departments. One of the standards of Professional Performance which specifically relates
to training and competencies, Education, states "The public health nurse
attains knowledge and competency that reflects current nursing and public
health practice." The measurement criteria for this standard include the following
guidelines: The public health nurse: . Participates in ongoing education activities to maintain and enhance
the knowledge and skill necessary to promote the health of the
population.
. Seeks experiences to develop and maintain competence in the skills
needed to implement policies, programs, and services for populations.
. Identifies learning needs based on nursing and public health
knowledge, the various roles the nurse may assume, and the changing
needs of the population.
. Identifies changes in the statutory requirements for the practice of
nursing and public health.
. Maintains professional records that provide evidence of competency and
lifelong learning.
. Seeks experiences and formal and independent learning activities to
maintain and develop clinical and professional skills and knowledge. Additional measurement criteria for the Advanced Practice Public Health
Nurse include: The advanced practice public health nurse: . Uses current research findings and other evidence to expand nursing
and public health knowledge, enhance role performance, and increase
knowledge of professional issues. 1 American Nurses Association (2007), Public Health Nursing: Scope and
