Community Nursing
Community nursing provides nursing care outside of an environment other than acute hospitals, including facilities, homes, and community hospitals. The main aim of this specialization is to employ strategies revolving around prevention, promotion, and health maintenance to improve the overall community health rather than just focusing on an individual.
Home Health Nursing
Home health nursing is a comprehensive form of nursing primarily catering to the needs of patients at their residences. This is a very cost-effective approach to the nursing care of patients. Nurses practicing home health nursing are expected to custom-tailor specific care plans addressing prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy. Their responsibilities can vary under various situations like medication administration, emotional support, and, in some cases, health promotion.
