Program Description

Welcome to the 2018 Public Health Nurse 2 (PHN2) Continuing Education (CE) Program. This NEW version of the PHN2 CE Program is an update and replaces previous PHN2 CE Programs. 

Background:

Changes made to the State Sanitary Code in 2008 require Local Health Department staff hired to the Public Health Nurse 2 (PHN2) and Supervising Public Health Nurse (SPHN) titles to complete 15 hours of continuing education within their first year of employment.  PHN2 and SPHN Continuing Education Programs on the NYLearnsPH.com LMS were developed to assist these staff in meeting this requirement.

Intended Audience for PHN2 CEP:

  • PHN 2 hired after August 20, 2008, who have not yet completed a previous version of the PHN2 CE Program.
  • Such PHN2s must complete the program within their first year of employment.   
  • ALL PHNs are encouraged to take the program.
  • SPHNs who have not completed the PHN2 CE Program are encouraged to do so.

The Continuing Education Programs cover key competency domains of public health nursing, including:

  • Basic Public Health Science
  • Community Dimensions of Practice
  • Cultural Competency
  • Analytic Assessment
  • Communication

Courses: This program is made up of eleven (11) CORE Courses.

Notes:

  • The Program must be completed within the individual’s first year of employment. 
  • ALL Public Health Nurse 2 are encouraged to take the Core Curriculum.
  • If a newly hired Public Health Nurse 2 should have any difficulty completing the program within the first year of employment, they should contact LMS Administration at edlearn@health.ny.gov.

 

Enrolling In The Program:

  1. Scroll down to the bottom of the program description page, you will find a Course Status Table displaying your status for each course in the program.
