Some of the roles of the community health nurse needs to take in order to effectively promote health include:
Clinician
Case Manager
Advocate
Educator
Researcher
Administrator
Change Agent
Case finder

Community Health Education
A key role for community health nurses in many settings is involvement in health education. Although there are numerous ways community health planners define health education, nurses recognize the important ways they have participated in various nursing roles as teachers in health promotion and prevention. Health teaching alone is not always effective in changing outcomes for long-standing behaviors, but when you couple education with resources or policy change or other interventions, positive change can start to occur.
The nurse’s role in health education is to:
Identify at least one key stakeholder related to the setting that a CHN could collaborate with regarding disaster preparedness. Include why this collaboration is important.
