Rural residents experience multiple health disparities including economic constraints, cultural and educational differences, and isolation, which restrict a healthy life. Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are a safe and cost-effective strategy to minimize the provider shortage and increase rural access. This project sought to determine Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) student perceptions of rural health and cultivate interest in practicing in rural Oregon communities. 000002995 650__ $$aMedically Underserved Area$$021955 000002995 650__ $$aLife Style$$021503 000002995 650__ $$aStudents, Nursing$$026493 000002995 650__ $$aEmployment$$018367 000002995 650__ $$aHealth Inequities$$013830 000002995 650__ $$aAdvanced Practice Nursing$$038882 000002995 650__ $$aRural Health$$025632 000002995 650__ $$aNurse Practitioners$$023075 000002995 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000002995 7001_ $$aConklin, Kelsey$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002995 751__ $$aOregon 000002995 8564_ $$98283e7c1-9316-4264-8644-b51252291fe9$$s288918$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2995/files/3798_etd.pdf 000002995 905__ $$a/rest/prod/8k/71/nh/39/8k71nh39w 000002995 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2995$$pstudent-work 000002995 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
