Where do community health nurses work?

Community health nurses work in a variety of settings, from large cities to small towns to a rural areas. As a community health nurse, you may work in a hospital or large medical facility where you perform traditional nursing functions in addition to doing community outreach. Another option is to work directly in your community as part of a municipal, state, or federal health department or agency. There are also many community health nurses who work with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or the military. You should be prepared to travel as a part of your job.
