Community and public health nurses have crucial roles in
promoting health and reducing illness and injury in populations,
families, and individuals. While public health nurses offer
healthcare services to communities and individuals who cannot
access services, community health nurses help in advocating
and formulating policies for eliminating healthcare disparities.
Public health nurses work in health clinics, schools, community
centers, and public health agencies.
Public health nurses work to promote wellness and prevent
illness by focusing on educating at-risk groups and individuals
on living healthy lifestyles and preventing diseases. Some
specific roles of public health nurses include evaluation of
patients’ health and recommending treatment plans, provision of
referrals, and administration of care and treatments. Also, they
inform patients concerning support services and make patient
follow-ups (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2019).
Community health nurses are very important especially in areas
where healthcare is not easily accessible. This implies that
nurses can travel far and wide to provide healthcare services.
Just like public health nurses, community health nurses also
provide treatment to patients and educate communities on how
to maintain their health to avert the prevalence of diseases and
curb preventable deaths. They participate in planning health
education campaigns in collaboration with community leaders.
