CHSRF Research Study:
Nursing Practice in Rural and Remote Canada
According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information in 2002, 30,544 (13.2%) of the 230,957 registered nurses in Canada practised in the community (Canadian Institute for Health Information, 2003). Nurses work in a wide range of community and health care organizations, delivering services that range from health promotion and prevention to clinical treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care.
The Value of Nurses in the Community
The diversity of agencies where community nurses work and the confusion about what services are available makes the services vulnerable to budget cuts. The purpose of this paper is to provide preliminary information about the roles of nurses in the community and the cost benefit of the service provided by these nurses.
