Job Description

DEFINITION Under direction, provides a wide range of professional nursing services to students, staff and others in support of a college health service program, including services that require knowledge of public health practices; assists in the planning and implementation of college health service activities through cooperation with appropriate medical authorities; monitors the effectiveness of program activities and services; provides training to staff and others pertaining to first aid, child care, and other health practice areas; serves as a resource regarding student health management strategies, problems and concerns; and performs related work as assigned.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS This is the second full working level class in the Health Services Nurse Series within the Yosemite Community College District (YCCD). An incumbent of this class must be a Registered Nurse in the State of California and must also have a Public Health Nurse Certificate. Incumbents at this level provide a wide range of standard nursing services typically associated with a health clinic setting, including the most complex nursing duties that require knowledge of public health nursing issues as they apply to an educational institution.

This class may be distinguished from the lower level class of Health Services Nurse because incumbents in that class, require less patient care experience and need not possess a valid California Public Health Nurse Certificate.

TYPICAL WORKING CONDITIONS Work is generally performed in an indoor health care clinic setting. Travel between campuses may be required.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED Incumbents in this class work under the direction of a manager or senior manager, receiving occasional supervision while working toward a definite objective that requires use of a wide range of procedures. Incumbents plan and/or determine specific procedures or equipment required to meet assigned objectives and solve non-routine problems, referring only unusual matters to a supervisor

An incumbent in this class does not directly supervise other full-time employees, but may serve as a lead worker by assigning, directing and/or monitoring the work of subordinate full time employees on a regular basis.
