Patricia N Scott et al. J Contin Educ Nurs. .

Abstract

Background: The tristate Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC) education program prepares nurses to serve on boards that promote a culture of health, such as housing and transportation authorities, school wellness teams, mental health nonprofits, and planning commissions.

Method: Three state nursing organizations developed an evidence-informed, innovative, interactive NOBC education model through a review of board service, leadership, and continuing education literature; key informant interviews with national NOBC experts; and evaluation data from previous NOBC education held in our individual states.

Results: Attendees in the 2018 and 2019 tristate education programs reported increased knowledge regarding the social determinants of health and how they can influence population health by serving on health-promoting boards.

Conclusion: The tristate NOBC education is a successful model in preparing nurses to serve on boards that promote a culture of health. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2020;51(11):528-532.].
