Community health nurses practice in a variety of settings. Choose one of the following CH settings, and describe what you have learned about the setting and the role(s) of the nurse in that setting (see Nies & McEwen, 2015, Chapters 29–33). Please do not choose occupational health nursing for this discussion because your paper is on occupational health nursing.
