I am a Registered Nurse x 24 years,currently participating in an MSN program. My daily work is with individuals who have been ill or impaired by factors in the workplace. I also participate in facilitating educational programs for insurance adjusters. Future work, after finishing my MSN will hopefully include education of those attending nursing school. |
The community tool box was a reference I learned of many years ago, but did not get to utilize. I wish now that I had. Reviewing it today shows that it is a wealth of information and tools that aid any individual to structure any project from needs assessment to evaluation of an implemented plan. Thank you for saving us from hours or days of searching for methods. Your site enables me as a student and a professional, to immediately get to work on the project. This will be a great gift to my future nursing students. Thanks again!!! |

The Community Tool Box was a link from another site. I think your site is excellent. A great deal of good thought went into this resource. It contains a wealth of significant resources, examples, practical how to's, and most importantly, you communicate to the average user on their terms. It's almost too good to be true. |

Lots of in-kind time and talent. Grassroots committee. Pre - post oral screenings on participant children, brush records maintained by parents and center staff, two years, State Oral Health will use info for broader preventative / education promotion and hopefully institutionalization.
