The following questions are posed to help you think about your beliefs, attitudes, and biases:

What have your experiences been with community health nurses? What have been your family’s experiences in the healthcare system? What have been your best and worst experiences in these contexts?
Which contextual, political, or structural factors have influenced your health, the health of your family, and your community’s health?

Post this reflection in the Beliefs About Community Health Nursing forum by the end of Week 2 (include a critical thinking question for your peers). Provide a thoughtful response to ONE of your classmates. Consider reviewing one of the following resources (optional), or frame the reflection from your personal experience. You will return to this reflection in Unit 5 at the end of the course.

Forum participation should be thoughtful, engaging, and considerate. Posts can follow different structures, but examples of meaningful responses:

Remember to maintain privacy and confidentiality (such as not using names or identifiers of clients when presenting clinical experiences).
Build on your classmates’ responses, and then add your own growing ideas inspired or prompted by their responses.
Include a critical thinking question in the first response to elicit classmates’ responses.
Use audio or video responses (which can be done through your TEAMS account) if you want to express yourself this way rather than using a textual response.
Integrating arts-based strategies (e.g., poems, images, Photovoice, videos, conceptual quilting, multimedia) into your post.
Use scholarly support carefully and mindfully: Not all responses require scholarly resources, and sometimes well-vetted and carefully critiqued quality resources and links (e.g., YouTube) are great choices.
Demonstrate professionalism and openness to divergent points of view.
