Rural Nurse

I'm still amazed at how many nursing careers there are in this world. Is it just me? 
I found this nursing career online. It's pretty interesting. 

Rural Nurses work in isolated areas with patients who have limited access to healthcare. They typically work in critical care nursing, trauma, labor, and delivery, as well as in typical nursing duties like attending to patients who are sick or injured. 


There’s a chance you could be the primary caregiver of an entire community, so becoming a Nurse Practitioner would be helpful. Many nurses find this field especially rewarding due to the fact that often times patients will be neighbors, family members, close friends, and generally people they are already very familiar with.




THINGS YOU'LL DO:

  • Treat patients with common acute illnesses
  • Attend to patients with chronic conditions
  • Educate rural communities about health and wellness

YOUR JOB CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Multifaceted
  • Patient-facing
  • Independent


Salary: $48,000-$83,000
