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.]
Background: In all nursing care, nurses should address the social determinants of health that make it difficult for people to lead healthy lives. The Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action recommends transforming nursing education to prepare nurses to address social determinants through building a culture of health. Our study examined integration of culture of health/population health concepts into nursing education and assessed nursing deans' and directors' perceived barriers, facilitators, and readiness to incorporate culture of health into curricula. Method: Modified Delphi techniques were used in two neighboring southern states through two rounds of data collection to develop quantitative surveys in each state. Results: Consensus emerged on the need to integrate population/culture of health concepts into nursing curricula. Deans and directors described barriers and facilitators to educational integration. Conclusion: Population/culture of health concepts must become a fundamental component of nursing education at all educational levels. [ J Nurs Educ . 2020;59(11):605–609.]
