One of my favorite things about the nursing profession is the wide range of career possibilities. Nurses can work in a variety of settings 和 specialties. 其中一个专业就是社区保健护理.
的责任 社区卫生工作者 是巨大的. They educate residents through health expos 和 community classes. They go to patients’ homes, community centers, hospice facilities 和 to long-term care facilities. They also fulfill roles such as a home care nurse or visiting nurse, 公共卫生护士, hospice nurses, school nurse, community advocate 和 parish nurse.
These nurses can be found working in 年龄ncies like the 美国红十字会, 妇女、婴儿和儿童(WIC) 而在 护士与家庭伙伴关系 仅举几个例子. The common thread with all of the different community nurse positions is that they help the public improve their health 和 maintain 健康的生活方式. They can help prevent hospitalizations through support 和 education 和 also assist patients’ transition home from a hospital stay.
These nurses are the backbone of healthy communities. Community health nurses assist everyone in the nation, 从最小的到最大的, 以及介于两者之间的所有人.
Another important role of these nurses is emergency preparedness. In 2002, the Public Health Security 和 Bioterrorism Response Act exp和ed the expectations of community health nurses so that they could also take on responsibilities of first responders. 在发生社区卫生危机时, nurses with this specialty would be among the first to respond, develop a plan of action 和 provide immediate care. 现在, 在许多护理学院和学校, emergency preparedness training is part of the curriculum.
We have healthier communities today because of the tireless efforts of these nurses. 护理不是一份工作，而是一种使命. Community health nursing is one very rewarding way for us to be called to serve.
