Welcome to the ANHE Education Work Group!
We are a group of dedicated nurse educators in academia and clinical practice who support environmental nursing education for nursing students entering practice; advanced nursing education at the graduate level; and faculty development. We also offer a collegial place for nurse educators to collaborate with other nurses who value environmental health nursing education.
The Education Work Group offers curricular recommendations to infuse environmental health nursing across nursing curricula, teaching tips to engage nursing students in environmental health as part of nursing practice, and our crowning project the ANHE e-textbook, Environmental Health in Nursing. We are a welcoming group. Please join us in our work. The Work Group calls are the second Monday of the month at 7:30 PM. The times are U.S. Eastern Time.
And check back often for updates and Work Group news and minutes from our calls.

Resources for Educators
ANHE Curriculum Recommendations – The ANHE Education Work Group has created recommendations for ADN, Baccalaureate, RN-BSN, and graduate nursing curricula.
Environmental Health in Nursing – Free e-textbook. Peer-reviewed and written by nurses. This textbook is an excellent resource whether you are just learning about environmental health or have more advanced knowledge. We are already working on the second edition.
If you’d like to author a chapter please contact Katie Huffling at katie@enviRN.org or 240-753-3729.
More Resources for Educators:
Incorporating Environmental Health and Climate Change into a Concept-Based Nursing Curriculum
Integration of EH and CC into the CBC for Google Doc
This project by ANHE’s Education Workgroup was designed to find areas of insertion of EH in concept-based nursing curriculum so that our graduates are prepared to incorporate EH into their practice as they care for their patients, families, and communities and work within their full scope of practice. There are many resources including a free online text, webinars, videos, and assignments that faculty can utilize in the classroom and clinical settings. Several of the webinars have contact hours (free!) for faculty and students.
