RUN: Rural Urban Nursing Outreach Program
The Rural Urban Nursing Outreach Program (RUN) provides an opportunity for senior nursing students at Seattle Central Community College to gain insight and knowledge of rural obstetrics and rural public health nursing.
Students spend a total of 16 hours of clinical time at an OB unit and 8 hours at a rural public health setting under the direct supervision of an assigned preceptor. In addition to making rounds with hospital nursing staff, students gain first-hand knowledge about public health nursing. Students are assisted in locating and paying for housing and receive reimbursement for transportation.
Preceptors are nurses at maternal child hospital units and other clinical facilities in rural Washington. A preceptor must be willing to assist students in discovering the special challenges of nursing in a rural setting, to supervise their performance and complete evaluations of student nurses participating in the program. RUN is recognized as an official educational program of Seattle Central Community College.
Other Health Professional Rotations As resources permit, Western Washington Area Health Education Center assists other students in locating rural and underserved rotations. Please contact WWAHEC for more information about an individualized experience.
