Public Health Nursing Certification Job Task Analysis Survey

An important step in developing a Public Health Nursing Certification Program is conducting a job task analysis. A job task analysis involves systematically identifying and documenting the specific tasks and responsibilities associated with a particular job or role within a field. The results of this public health nursing JTA survey will help the NBPHE to define the scope of a public health nursing certification exam.

The National Board of Public Health Examiners recently assembled a panel of experts of public health nurses to discuss and identify the key tasks of public health nurses which are included in this job task analysis survey. This survey asks you to provide input on the tasks identified by the panel. Rate each task based on what you ACTUALLY do in your job role. The accuracy of your feedback enhances the exam’s validity and credibility and is critical in helping us ensure that the inaugural public health nursing certification examination is reflective of the role.

We estimate that it will take approximately 20-25 minutes to complete the survey. All responses will be kept confidential, and your individual responses will not be released. Survey results will be reported in aggregate and used to inform the development of a public health nursing certification program and other public health nursing workforce development initiatives.
