A community health nursing curriculum and Healthy People 2000.
The School of Nursing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham recently revised its graduate level community health nursing curriculum based on the priority areas and health objectives in Healthy People 2000. Health priority areas are presented as class topics and provide direction for the students' fieldwork. This paper provides background on the national strategy used to develop the national health objectives, suggestions on how nursing can be at the forefront of influencing the health of the nation, and specifics involved in implementing a community health nursing curriculum using the year 2000 health objectives.
