What is unique about working as a rural nurse?

Working in a more remote community presents the opportunity to expand your professional skillset. This includes serving as community service workers who actively engage with local residents and offer assistance both in and outside their place of employment. You can take advantage of your status as a healthcare provider in these smaller settings to become a trusted and valued member of the community. (EDUMED.org)
