Community and public health nursing is a specialized field of nursing that focuses on promoting and protecting the health of populations within communities. Unlike traditional clinical nursing, which primarily deals with individual patients, community and public health nurses work to improve the overall health and well-being of entire communities. These nurses often collaborate with various stakeholders, including government agencies, community organizations, and healthcare providers, to develop and implement strategies for preventing disease, promoting healthy lifestyles, and addressing health disparities. They may work in a variety of settings, including schools, clinics, community centers, and public health departments.
