Differences
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:
- Synthesis of nursing practice and public health to promote and preserve the health of populations
- 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?
