Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
How to Answer
Example Answer
Community Answers
The American Nurses Association offers a certification and credentialing program in public health nursing. While your interviewer will be able to see if you list this credential on your resume if you do hold the certification, they will likely ask if they don't see it to see if you are certified. Conversely, they want to hear that you would be interested in pursuing the certification if you are offered the position and don't currently hold it.
Not all community health nurse positions require the Community Health Nursing Certification. The job description should make it clear if it is required. If you hold the certification, be sure to let your interviewer know and for how long you've been certified. If you are asked this question and aren't certified, be sure to convey that you are open to the opportunity to become certified. Through the ANA, the certification process has some qualifications and prerequisites. Be sure to familiarize yourself with those. It's also important to note that the National Board of Public Health Examiners also has a certification in public health for nurses.
"No, I currently do not hold a community health nursing certification but I'm certainly willing to pursue the certification if hired. As you can see from my resume, I currently have AGN-BC, AMB-BC, and BC-ADM certifications that I've worked very hard for and am willing to do that again for this certification. Are you able to explain the process for initial certification?"
