§ 101115 Public Health Nurse Duties

• •The board of supervisors can assign any health‑related tasks to the public health nurse.
• •The board also sets the nurse's salary or wages.
• •The nurse’s duties are limited to what the board tells her to do for the county’s health and sanitation.

The county board asks the public health nurse to inspect the drinking water at a local elementary school.

The nurse must check the water for safety because the board told her to, and the board will also decide her paycheck for that work.
