Michael J.
Colville, WA
RN; Public Health
My entire career as a nurse has been with Northeast Tri-County
Health District, serving sparsely populated Ferry, Pend Oreille and
Stevens Counties. I appreciate the autonomy and variety I have
working in such a remote rural area. I have the opportunity to
prove that I can develop a rapport with most of the people I come
into contact with, and with that rapport I can begin to offer
services that I hope will make a difference in the life of the
family I am working with. I conduct home visits for parenting education, provide
developmental screenings and assessments, do HIV/AIDS testing and
counseling, and tuberculosis testing. I also collect and compile
health care records for children in foster care, and serve as a
resource person for families with children under age three with
developmental delays. I also enjoy the traditional mainstay of
public health, investigation and prevention for communicable
diseases. Nursing can be a way to express your desire to be of service.
Don’t do it for the salaries or the status. Do it for the
opportunity to have a career with many different areas of
expertise, one of which could fit your unique personality and
interest. Plus you can take your skills all over the world as a
traveling nurse.
