Characteristics of family nurse practitioners and their preparation for practice in rural vs urban employment settings
Approximately 50 million people, 20% of the population of the United States, live in areas designated as rural (U.S.  Census Bureau, 2018). Rural Americans are more likely to die from heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, and stroke compared to their urban counterparts (Rural Health Information (RHI), 2019b).
