It is a guess, but it may be because many health promotion positions also
require a nurse to perform "Nursing Skills" such as immunizations, wound
care, health screening, health surveillance (i.e., vision screening, audiometric
testing, and pulmonary function testing), which all require special training
and an RN license to practice. Immunizations, especially cannot be done
by anyone except an RN or an MD. Just my two cents, however.

am annoyed that most postings for health promotion positions ask for a
Bachelor or Master of nursing. Why do employers want nurses to do
jobs that an health promotion professional could do. There are undergraduate
and graduate programs specializing in health promotion, what's wrong with
these graduates.</FONT></FONT></FONT> This is from the BC Jobs page
