Ross, J. (2001). Perspectives on developing the advanced role of rural nursing in New Zealand. Health Manager, 8(1), 19–21.
Abstract: The author traces the development of rural nursing, which began as an assistant role for general practitioners, to the present role which incorporates advanced nursing practice.

Specific rural competencies are identified, in managing isolation, professionalism in a small community, nurse/patient relationships in a small community, and independence.
