Make a Difference in Wyoming – Join Public Health Nursing

Public Health Nursing goes beyond bedside care—it's about improving entire communities. Unlike hospital-based nurses who focus on individual patients, PHNs take a big-picture approach by addressing social, physical, and environmental health factors.

📌 Prevention Over Treatment – Instead of treating illnesses, PHNs work to prevent them by promoting health at the community level.

📌 Less Direct Bedside Care – More focus on care coordination, case management, public health initiatives, and policy work.

📌 Community-Focused Care – PHNs advocate for health equity, educate populations, and develop programs that address social determinants of health.

Key Responsibilities of a Public Health Nurse

✅ Health Promotion & Disease Prevention – Educating communities on best health practices.

✅ Emergency Preparedness & Response – Assisting in public health crises and disease outbreaks.

✅ Advocacy & Policy Work – Collaborating across sectors to improve health outcomes.

✅ Community Outreach & Collaboration – Partnering with schools, local governments, and healthcare organizations.

Public Health Nurses make a lasting impact, not just on individuals, but on entire populations. If you're looking for a rewarding career with flexibility, autonomy, and purpose—this is it.
