new modules and key concepts each week. This course will explore community health
nursing including the role of an RN in the community health setting, working with
diverse populations, disease management, health promotion, mental health
awareness, advocacy and health policy, and community health leadership. The
information taught in this course is relevant to professional nursing practice, as
students will gain knowledge that will benefit them not only in the community health
setting, but also in every setting within the nursing field, such as how to manage
diverse population and disease management. The learner will benefit from taking
this course by gaining skills on how to manage populations in the community health
setting, as students should not solely focus on specialty settings while in nursing
school. Students will also benefit from this course as they learn different skills related
to interprofessional collaboration that they will utilize throughout their careers.

lessons. Weeks two and three will focus on the diversity of patients in the community
health setting and identifying community needs through assessments. Students will
