Community Health Nursing

Community health nursing is a very important and interesting area in the nursing profession. I am beginning to feel that this is an area that I would like to pursue when I enter the workforce as a registered nurse. I believe that having the opportunity to help people in marginalized populations, such as homeless or drug addicted individuals, would be a deeply rewarding and gratifying experience. It is imperative that populations at risk have access to proper food, clothing, shelter, and health care. Unfortunately, many within this community do not have access to these resources and often feel overlooked and shunned by society.
