Certification

Public/Community Health Nursing Certification

The American Nurses Credentialing Center retired  the Advanced Public Health Nursing (PHNA-BC) certification via portfolio.  

At the generalist level, there is currently no certification specific to public health nursing. Nurses with a baccalaureate degree and with at least 5 years of public health experience can sit for Certification in Public Health (CPH) via the National Board  of Public Health Examiners; see https://www.nbphe.org/
