Education And Training
This is a special assignment class within the Community Health Nurse classification series.

Therefore, a Community Health Nurse II who is currently working in the field as a Community Health Nurse and who is accredited as a Nurse Case Manager by passing the National Nurse Case Manager examination may be advanced to the Case Manager position but only while working in a field position. If the Case Manager leaves the field position, the employee will return to the Community Health Nurse II classification and pay grade.
