Opening doors
Opening doors is a campaign aimed at supporting national efforts towards developing child protection systems while strengthening families and ensuring high-quality family as well as community-based alternative care for children. In the videos, we see multiple nurses with a vision of honoring and supporting parents as leaders of their families and their kid’s role models. Opening doors is about being more of a nurse enjoying working with complexity instead of simplicity while focusing on improving the healthcare of their communities. Nurses know that if left untreated, the ills of the few become the ills of the many. Improved healthcare has been achieved by the public health nurses taking an extra effort to go to the people, where they work, live, including a home visit. To understand their clients better, these nurses visit their clients’ home advice and do as much as they can to strengthen families and ensure high quality health care in those families. These nurses understand and know the benefit when a parent is actively involved in the first five years of their children. This can be traced back to Lillian Wald, who invented public health nursing in 1893. Ward had a visionary of securing reforms in health, housing, education, and recreation.
From this, I learned that parents contribute much to the lives of their children and communities. They are the reason behind the positive income for their children. Public health nurses have indeed demonstrated their passion and ability to offer comprehensive healthcare to the American public. While most of the nurses care for a patient at a time, public health nurses’ care for the community and patients who one or the other needs support. Public health nursing is meant to change the future of healthcare while educating the community on means to improve their health, safety, relationships and facilitate access to affordable healthcare
