So, I think Rural Area Nursing would be incredibly fascinating. The destinations are diverse, the patient mix is diverse, the culture is vastly different from that which we see in large tertiary referral metropolitan facilities. It presents an amazing opportunity to advance skills or work while you travel.

In fact, Elissa Slingsby from Curis Recruitment is an expert in rural area nursing and finding great options for nurses and midwives to find short and long term permanent placements. Elissa says that there are two groups of nursing mainly attracted to rural area nursing, as well as regional placements: those who have graduated about 5 years ago and are looking to advance their skillset in a challenging way or empty nesters who are looking to combine work and travel. Elissa helps both of those demographics finds a great opportunity.
