Public Health Nursing
by Heide Cygan, DNP, RNPublic health refers to the collective actions a society enacts to ensure living conditions contribute to positive health outcomes. Public health nurses provide care to communities and populations to achieve these positive health outcomes.
As public health encompasses entire populations of individuals of all ages, an understanding of anatomy and physiology, as well as pediatrics and gerontology is required in order to effectively address the varied needs of diverse communities.
Every branch of nursing is influenced by public health policy and practice, therefore a solid understanding of the scope and role of public health nurses, as well as public health interventions and decision-making frameworks is essential to provide competent nursing care.
