This is what most of you envision as nursing and what you are passionate about. Now we are asking you to spread your wings and think about the community as your client and to use the word client instead of patient. You might be thinking, “This is not what I was planning to do in my nursing career—why am I here?” or “How can I provide nursing care to an entire community?” As you read this book, you will learn the answers to these questions. You will gain both knowledge and entry-level competencies in providing nursing care for an entire community, an at-risk population group in the community, or at-risk individuals and families in their homes or other community settings.
