More about Panhandle Public Health District
The Public Health Nurse path supports the immunization program, community vaccine events, onsite biometric screenings, disease investigation, and infection control, with emergency response training, PHAB standards, HIPAA practice, and partner collaboration built into the role. Scheduling texture is plain: the Public Health Nurse listing is casual and seasonal, while FT and PT options are referenced for Nurse Aide and related openings. You bring a valid license path (RN preferred, LPN accepted; ADN or BSN), a driver’s license, insurance, and a reliable vehicle to reach work sites. Scottsbluff keeps daily life compact—about an eight-minute typical commute, parks and the monument close by, and a three-hour shot to Denver when you want a break. One gap to hold honestly: the competitive $34.26–$40.27/hr figure PPHD has shared publicly is for Community Health Worker openings, not RN wages.
Working together to improve the health, safety, and quality of life for all who live, learn, work and play in the Panhandle.
