More about Gaston County Government
As a Public Health Nurse III you deliver direct care and case management for communicable diseases and other public health programs, and you may also manage the mobile unit that serves underserved communities. The PHN III posting describes advanced supervisory work: delegating assignments, coordinating clinic schedules, and running mobile-unit operations. That operations list includes infection control, inventory, fleet maintenance, and CLIA compliance. You would also help inform the public through social media, the county website, print, billboards, podcasts, and lawn signs. Anticipated pay for the permanent PHN III is $33.80 to $40.14 an hour. The county has posted a Public Health Nurse II title as well. Gaston County Public Health says it is committed to protecting, promoting, and preserving the health and well-being of all Gaston County residents.
