Introduction
The First Monday in May is Community Health Nurse's Day. Nurses who work in local public health departments should be celebrated for helping their communities retain health, prevent illness, promote health empowerment and protect for harm and disease.
Why We Love National Community Health Nurse’s Day
A Health Community is a better Community
Community Health Nurses work with colleagues to plan, implement and evaluate health programs for local community members. This is often done in the background and out of the spotlight to allow the program and their client's health to be recognized.
Community Health Nurses know their community
Community Health Nurses form strong professional bonds with their clients and can advocate for those in the gaps of healthcare, resources and services
Community Health Nurses, there from the start, here for the long run
Community Health Nurses were involved in the beginning of the public health inception. Florence Nightingale was a nurse to her military community. She assessed needs, implemented interventions and evaluated them as is still done today.
