Ross, J. (2012) Place is central to understand the construction of rural nursing. New Zealand Nurses Organisation Research Conference Nelson, New Zealand, November. The content of this research paper is based on my PhD research and promotes how the concept 'place' opens up the possibilities of understanding rural nursing as a 'place-based practice' rather than place only being a physical geographical location where practice is performed. the concept 'place' is central to understand the construction of rural nursing. Social geography provides the interface between social and geographic worlds uncovering the dynamic nature of rural nursing practice. From this presentation Dr Jill Clendon (a delegate at my presentation) followed up with me in 2013 to use this concept of place in a revised textbook I provided her with the 2012 publication of a chapter I had published in D. Molinari & A. Bushy (Eds). Rural nurse: Transition to Practice. New York: Springer Publishing Company. September 2012.

Ross, J. (2011) ‘Place’ as central to understand the construction of rural nursing in New Zealand. Presented Rural Health Conference 2011, New York, USA. Original research situated in the discipline of social geography, providing exciting findings contributing to these theories. The concept ‘place’ provides a framework to present the analysis. 'Place’ comprises ‘location’, the physical setting or sites of practice; ‘locale’ provides the space where social relations emerge, within and external to the ‘location', capturing the other, difference and power relations. 'Sense of place’ links the emotional attachment nurses have to 'place', noting a strong sense of belonging and commitment. The framework is used to analyse how rural nurses are constructed within and beyond the community as critical in understanding the rural nurse’s identity within the wider nursing profession.

Presentation summarised current research and the framework I had interpreted from social geography to support analysis. The framework, related to the concept of ‘place’ from social geography, provides an effective framework to present the analysis. 'Place’ comprises ‘location’, and includes the physical setting or sites of nursing practice; ‘locale’ provides the space where social relations emerge, within and external to the ‘location', discussed as 'flows and movement’,capturing ‘the other’, difference and power relations. 'Sense of place’ links the emotional attachment nurses have to 'place', noting a strong sense of belonging and commitment to place.
