Third cohort for NRHA’s Rural Health Nurse Certification Program graduates

[Kansas City, Mo.] – The National Rural Health Association’s (NRHA) Rural Health Nurse Certification Program has completed its third cohort, which started in September 2024.

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. Rural nursing is its own specialty, and that realization led to the development of the first-ever rural nurse certification program.

Congratulations to all September 2024 cohort participants!
