A public health nurse specializes in educating the general public and improving the health of the general public (immunizations, educating about STDs, ways to prevent illness, etc).

School nurses usually will provide medications and treatments to kids in the school system, education, and at times provide first aid until a parent or paramedic arrives in cases of emergency or illness.
