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.

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

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.

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The knowledge and ability requirements are representative of essential duties. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.
