Partnerships In Community Health
Please join us for the Winter 2016 BNURS 409 Poster Presentation showcasing the work of nursing students in the UW Bothell, RN to BSN program. In this course, students learned to analyze, apply and evaluate health care activities of local, national, and global communities. Working closely with community partners, students worked in groups to apply community health nursing principles to promote and maintain population self-care. We are proud to invite community partners, faculty, students and the interested public to this event.
