Basic Concepts in Public Health Nursing

by Heide Cygan, DNP, RN

Public health refers to the actions taken by society in an effort to create positive health outcomes. This course introduces learners to how nurses help populations achieve this goal. As this is an introductory course, no previous knowledge is required. As public health concepts can be applied on both a community and individual level, as well as throughout the continuum of life, a healthy understanding of these basic concepts is beneficial to all nurses, regardless if they choose to specialize in public health.
