'Butt is bleeding' "Miss, I had sex with the backside of my brush because I wanted to. Don't worry though I was safe and used a condom, I dont have AIDS or anything, just some bleeding." A middleaged businessman came in with a 'skin problem.' Upon further examination patient had multiple scars, trackmarks, abscess' to bilateral forearms. First thing he says is "I don't do drugs, I dont know what happened."

I know what I want to do, I'm just not sure where to find it! My passion is preventative health, increasing quality of life, and public education. I want to educate and impact the greatest number of people that I can.. Whether it be raising awareness on skin cancer, making a brochure on preventing cardiac disease, or educating the public on vaccinations. It doesn't matter what the topic I suppose, whatever a population needs help with, I want to be there! It seems that public health nursing may involve some of this, but from my understanding it is mostly home visits. Although wonderful, I'd like to go larger scale.. Does this job exist? Who does this? Who do they work for?
