Below are three programs that will potentially provide essential services, safer living areas, job opportunities, and valuable resources for individuals who live in rural areas.
Just as orthopedic nurses are skilled at caring for the musculoskeletal system, and cardiac nurses specialize in caring for the heart, rural nurses are skilled at knowing a little bit about everything and balancing the needs of their patients with the often limited resources in small and sometimes isolated parts of the country.
With this realization, NRHA is excited to launch its Rural Health Nursing Certification Program! Join us for a webinar about this brand new, multifaceted course designed to equip rural nurses with the information they need and a network of colleagues to help them provide quality care in rural settings while recognizing and celebrating their vast skill sets.
