Abstract
ABSTRACT: Over the last decade, the delivery of continuing education to nurses in rural and remote South Australia has undergone considerable change. Historically, nurses in these areas have been professionally isolated in carrying out their chosen career through the ever present distance factor. Until recent times, continuing education programs have not been as accessible to rural nurses as they have been to their metropolitan colleagues. This paper takes a light hearted look at the development of continuing nurse education in rural and remote South Australia over the last decade, highlighting some of the ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ of keeping travelling nurse educators ‘on the road’, ‘in the air’, or just ‘flat out on the ground’. At the same time, the concept and significance of such an educational program in this region of the state will be addressed by the writer, from the experiences of two different educational institutions.
