All Visiting Nurses Are Not Alike: Home Health and Community Health Nursing

Jennifer L. Green, Bonnie Driggers

Abstract

This article explores the differences between the practice of home health nursing and the practice of community health nursing which is suggested by the literature. Thirty-two nurses from three metropolitan home health agencies were surveyed; of these, 13 were randomly selected for interview in order to describe the current practice of home health-care nursing. As anticipated, home health nursing and community health nursing were found to differ significantly; the implications of this finding for nursing education are explored.
