Abstract
Background: Nurses are often the first to observe the effects of climate change on patients and communities, yet nursing education often fails to adequately address these effects. The Planetary Health Report Card (PHRC) is a tool to evaluate integration of planetary health in health professional education. This article describes an effort to complete a PHRC for a College of Nursing (CON).
Method: To determine a grade for each evaluation category of the PHRC, students assessed course curricula, institutional opportunities and policies, and faculty projects.
Results: Overall, the CON received a 42% (letter grade: C) on the PHRC. The curriculum section scored the highest at 56%.
Conclusion: This PHRC provides groundwork for the CON to improve integration of planetary health into nursing education. Scores indicate more work is needed to ensure nurses graduating from the CON are prepared to address climate health needs of patients and communities.
