Community Health Nursing is a nursing occupation that primarily takes place outside of the hospital setting. It’s found in NP1, the very first part of the PNLE. It tackles the provision of healthcare services, preventive care, and most importantly health promotion with health education in a community-based setting. It’s not exactly the dream occupation of many nurses, but its value is well-recognized and vital in promoting community-level wellness.
