Rural Health Nursing Certification Progam

"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. Rural nursing is its own specialty and it is that realization that has led to the development of the first ever rural nurse certification program. This multifaceted course is designed to equip rural nurses with information they need and a network of colleagues to help them provide high quality care in rural settings while recognizing and celebrating their vast skill sets." -Rebecca Shutts
