I have been wanting to get this started for some time - a rural nursing resource sticky that would (hopefully) contain links to rural resources from around the globe.

Oooh, ooh! Me too! I know this isn't technically rural, but rural in Canada often means a larger native population and the connections (links) from this website are great. Unfortunately Canada seems to be way behind Australia when it comes to rural nursing resources.

Oooh, and a jobs website through healthcanada is kinda cool too

:rotfl: I just knew there HAD to be more Canadian Rural Nursing links than what I was digging up!!! Thanks Fergus!

[fergus51]

LOL! I'll make it my mission in life to dig up more and add them to my last post;) I actually only had that site because i went to a job fair a month ago and the northern jobs were amazing! Great pay, sounded very exciting, but I am not going anywhere colder than here, thank you very much/

Gwenith, a few of those links are dead.

Great idea, I'll add some I've collected soon
