Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have currently just started the Bachelor of Nursing and need to complete an essay and the topic is:

Health care delivery in rural and remote Australia requires nurses to develop unique professional skills. Discuss this statement.

I am finding it a bit difficult to start this as I have no idea where to look as nothing is popping out at me over the net. Could anyone give advice on where to look especially when they were going to do rural nursing and felt they needed to find more information on what to expect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Raney and welcome aboard!

Congratulations on commencing your nursing degree.

In response to your question I find that the Australian Journal of Rural Health is a good resource for referencing such essays.

Another reference would be the http://www.rno.org/journal/I think in terms of thinking of direction for the paper, I would suggest that you think along the lines that rural nurses often refer to themselves as specialist generalists - that is they need to be able to provide quality professional services that in a metropolitan environment would be provided by a number of different nurses. For example on any given shift they might dealing with aged care, emergencies, cardiac, midwifery, paediatrics, surgical and medical patients. In a metro setting these are largely dealt with by specialties on different wards.

Hope that helps you get started.

Thank you for your discussion forum posting.  I also am interested in rural nursing because some of my friends live in the rural areas and they tell me that they have a hard time getting to the doctor or a hospital.  There are rural nursing journals that would help you to get ideas about this topic.  There is also a nursing mobile that travels around and the nurses in that mobile do nursing care.  Here is something that you can also read about:

I wish you the best and the best of luck to you in the rural nursing.

I did an essay and research about rural nursing in one of my night classes at nursing school.  The resources that I used were asking the professor in an email questions regarding the ways in which medical professionals do rural nursing, I used a book from the library that talks about rural nursing, I got websites and web links from the internet pertaining to nursing in rural settings, and I asked friends who live in the rural settings about their healthcare in their rural settings and how do they get it.  After all of those resources, I was able to write the essay and I did well on it.  So, I think that if you can get all of your resources together, do your pre-writing, write a draft, and then edit it in order to write the final draft.  Good luck and I wish you the best.
