Rural Nurse Residency
The role of the rural nurse is complex; caring for patients across the
age continuum with varying health conditions and often fulfilling the role of
multiple healthcare professionals all while making split second decisions. The majority of academic preparation for nurses takes place in an urban
setting. The nurse graduate does not get a glimmer of practice in a rural setting with urban preparation. With the literature demonstrating the fact that nurse graduates are not fully
prepared for the role of a professional nurse, how can we expect them to take
on the challenge of a rural setting. A Rural Nurse Residency
Program could utilize the strength of a network of Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) to supply the human
resources for the program. Having a cohort through the Rural Nurse Residency Program, graduate nurses will experience a decreased sense of isolation. Rural facility recruitment may not require
the hiring of a nurse graduate yearly, through participation in a Rural Nurse
Residency, a cohort of nurse graduates would have the benefit of participating
in a larger group while being the only nurse graduate hired by their facility.
