Nuritinga is a special journal. There are many nursing journals but Nuritinga specifically provides a showcase for student work. Nursing students are bright, articulate and seriously concerned with health, this is after all the reason they want to be become nurses. They have important insights to offer to the nursing world. In addition, registered nurses are increasingly expected to publish in order to share knowledge and understandings with colleagues. Publishing is also one way nurses can prove intellectual engagement when seeking advancement within the profession.
For these reasons it is important that students are encouraged to publish their work. Nuritinga accepts papers from all nursing students at all levels of their undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Papers are reviewed and writers are given feedback on their submissions. The quality of submitted work is high and we are delighted to have had the opportunity to publish a solid body of quality student work on a wide range of subjects over the past few years.

This essay will define the concepts of social capital, primary health care, and health promotion, and discuss their application and relevance to the goals and activities of child and family health nurses in Australia.
