Environursing
October 1, 2010 -- Environmentalism and nursing? What's the connection? Turns out it's a strong one, and we learned about it at the Children First: Promoting Ecological Health for the Whole Child conference at UCSF this month. The intersection of environmentalism and nursing includes: ...nutrition, education, socio-economic status, exposures to toxic chemicals, and access to preventive health care.If you're a nurse -- you care for people -- how can you not be an environmentalist?
