 The scarcity of healthcare providers in rural areas leads to reduced access to healthcare for rural residents, and our program prepares advanced practice nurses, APNs, to work in these areas. Through interpretive phenomenology, we studied the terminal outcomes of our APN graduates and found that rural connectedness versus disconnectedness was a theme. Elements leading to rural connectedness included developing support networks, relationships with urban healthcare centers, connections with local communities, and electronic support. Rural disconnectedness resulted from a lack of relationships with other healthcare providers, mentors, and support staff, as well as the absence of electronic support. Implications for education for rural advanced practice nurses are discussed. This article was authored by Margaret M. Conger and Karen A. Plager.
