DifferencesSynthesis of nursing practice and public health to promote and preserve the health of populations

In many textbooks, the terms Community Health Nurse and Public Health Nurse are used. Nies & McEwen (2009) uses the terms interchangeably. ANA definition (1980) follows:

  • Care is directed to individuals, families, groups
  • Contributes to health of the total population

What are your thoughts of the 2 terms and whether they are different or the same?
