Office of Nursing Service  

The office of Nursing Service, within the division of Community Health, is responsible for the support of Oklahoma's public health nurses by providing clinical practice guidelines and orders, continuing education and training opportunities, performance improvement activities and professional development through a biannual statewide public health nursing conference.

Public health nurses comprise the largest segment of Oklahoma's public health workforce with over 500 registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and advanced practice nurses. Our nurses, located in local county health departments, provide a variety of direct clinical services such as administering vaccinations, treatment and investigation of reportable communicable disease, family planning services, breast and cervical cancer screening, home visitation for first-time mothers, along with well-child and adult health clinics.  Public health nurses also provide population-based services that strive to improve the health status of their communities.  These services include disaster preparedness and response, disease outbreak investigation, health fair activities and presentations on healthy lifestyle behaviors for schools and community groups.
