| Abstract | Aim: This paper highlights the experiences of new graduate nurses working in rural areas, as they face the task of working with palliative care patients in rural health settings with limited assistance and mentoring. Background: There are a number of complicating factors that will influence how and where a person with a life limiting illness is cared for during the palliative stage of their condition. Nurses need to be mindful of these factors and their ability to offer quality care, which is dependent on the extent of their preparation for this area of practice. Although literature exists about how to provide end of life education to undergraduate nurses, there is little published about the experiences of new graduate nurses working in remote or isolated geographical regions. Method: Participants who had graduated 1-2 years previously received invitations to be interviewed through the University Alumni. Interviews were analysed thematically. Results: This paper describes the experiences of new graduate nurses working in isolation with palliative patients. Conclusions: Palliative care is viewed as an important feature of undergraduate nursing education, but is often identified as an area of practice where undergraduate nurses feel inadequately prepared. This paper describes the experiences of new graduate nurses in rural areas in their role of caring for patients with life limiting illness. |
