This episode will introduce listeners to two different areas of public health nursing practice: leading a population health promotion campaign, and working in a school health role. We’ll learn about the development of a large-scale campaign to support effective parenting; an example of how public health nursing can influence the entire population. Listeners will also hear how the school public health nurse works with students, teachers, principals, and parents to support the physical and emotional health of children and youth. Each nurse will offer a peek into a typical work day. While their roles are different, similar skills in collaboration, advocacy and innovation are foundational to their work.

Stories from the Field is hosted by Maureen Cava and Susan Blue. This series is produced by Katie Jensen and Sabrina Brathwaite of Vocal Fry Studios for the University of Toronto Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing.
