Community Health Nurse Jobs Overview
When you think of nursing jobs, you might picture someone working in a hospital. For those with community health nurse jobs, their work often takes them out of hospitals or offices so they can work people living in at-risk or underserved areas. The majority of community health nurses are employed by local governments and spend most of their working hours in neighborhoods to communicate with residents, hold healthcare events, and collect data.
Community health nurses educate about disease and illness and promote wellness by helping people adopt healthy behaviors. They encourage their patients to seek preventative healthcare service like cancer screenings and coordinate transportation. With the older population, they help explain Medicare. A portion of their work is also hands-on to provide basic health services—things like first aid, diabetic foot checks, and blood pressure screenings.
They collect information from these activities to prepare reports for government and social service agencies for funding. Their focus areas include infectious and sexually transmitted diseases, obesity, poor nutrition, substance abuse, smoking, and teen pregnancy
Community health is a growing priority for state and local governments. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that community health nurse jobs will see growth of 17% over the next 10 years.
