Public Health Nursing

Public Health Nurses listen and respond to community needs based on professional knowledge and relationships with individuals, families and communities.

 

Public health nursing is the practice of promoting and protecting the health of populations using knowledge from nursing, social, and public health sciences. The practice is population-focused with the goals of promoting health and preventing disease and disability for all people through the creation of conditions in which people can be healthy (American Nurses Association, 2007; American Public Health Association, 1996).
