Public Health Nurses Advocating for Public Health Nursing: Creating Change

Free Webinar CE

 The COVID-19 pandemic has thrust public health back into the spotlight. Public nurses have decreased in number, likely for the same reasons that have contributed to an overall shortage of nurses, including an aging workforce and lack of funding. This 1-hour webinar provides a map for you to use to address issues in public health nursing: before, during, and after a pandemic.  It is time to advocate, to educate policy makers.  It is time to put the “V” in advocacy: Visibility, Valued, Validated and now the Virus!  Now is the time to target local community leaders to increase the number of public health nurses in your local community!

The Illinois Public Health Nurse Academic-Practice Partnership Workgroup invites you to a one-hour lunchtime webinar showcasing strategies to put the “V” in advocacy, targeting your local community leaders to increase the number of public health nurses in our communities working to improve our culture of health, to improve our neighborhoods.
