Rural nursing researcher, instructor, and National Rural Health Association award recipient Jennifer Kowalkowski said the public perception of the nursing profession is important for even student nurses to understand. Reviewing the last Gallup News Service’s poll released in January 2020, Kowalkowski pointed out that for the eighteenth consecutive year, the 1,000 survey respondents rated the nursing profession as “high” and “very high” with regard to standards of honesty and ethics, the highest of any profession.

“The CHW model is so important, especially for our state’s frontier population,” Russell said. “We’ve just got to get more of these professionals out into our communities where they can help offer home checks on our older population, reach farm and ranch families who can’t get to town, and make connections with migrant workers. CHWs can make a huge difference.”
