NUR 420 - Community Health and Population-Focused NursingSemester Hours: 3
Public health nursing is an interconnection of nursing science and public health principles that focuses on improving the health of families, groups, and populations. This course provides a broad focus of public health, a more focused view of population health and health promotion, preparing the learner to practice effectively in the context of community-orientated, population-focused nursing practice. Students will be introduced to the impact that public health nursing creates on the general health status of the community through large-scale interventions, and political advocacy. The student will gain a greater understanding of public health nursing’s focus on: health promotion; disease prevention; genomics; epidemiology; protecting vulnerable (at-risk) populations; and identifying and preventing health disparities while being culturally sensitive, client centered and community focused.
