This is professional and supervisory work with responsibility for instructing, guiding and supervising nursing and auxiliary personnel in the provision of nursing services to assure safe, effective and efficient comprehensive care in homes, clinics and other community facilities. Work is performed under the general supervision of the Director of Patient Services through evaluation of activity reports and conferences. General supervision is exercised over a number of Public Health Nurses and auxiliary personnel. Incumbents do related work as required. Incumbents in this position must complete 15 hours of continuing education in public health and management related topics approved by the New York State Department of Health within the first year of employment. Incumbents must also maintain registration to practice as a registered professional nurse in New York State and a valid driver’s license throughout employment.

The only subject of examination will be an evaluation of your training and experience. You are asked to include in your application a summary of all pertinent training and experience in sufficient detail so that your background may be evaluated against the duties of the position. In your summary of training, include all college course work which was not a part of the Nursing degree program or which has not yet resulted in a degree, formal in-service training and seminars you have attended. You must specify either the number of credits received or the number of contact hours and dates of attendance. College *transcripts and/or training certificates must be submitted with your application if you wish to claim credit for college coursework, training, seminars or continuing education. Transcripts downloaded from the internet, grade reports or copies that do not identify the educational institutions are unacceptable for purposes of qualification. Note: Your degree must have been awarded by a college or university accredited by a regional, national, or specialized agency recognized as an accrediting agency by the U.S. Department of Education/U.S. Secretary of Education. (If your degree was awarded by an educational institution outside the United States and its territories, you must provide independent verification of equivalency. A list of acceptable companies who provide this service can be found on the Internet at http://www.cs.ny.gov/jobseeker/degrees.cfm. You must pay the required evaluation fee.”) In your summary of experience, you must specify the dates of your employment, the number of hours worked per week, your title, and the main duties for each position held including all supervisory experience. Be specific; vagueness and ambiguity will not be resolved in your favor. Candidates who submit incomplete applications or documentation may be disqualified. A resume may NOT be submitted in lieu of completing the application. Seniority points of 0.2 will be added to an eligible score for each year of continuous permanent competitive class service up to a maximum of twenty years. Langdon C.
