This article presents a conceptual analysis of the contemporary understanding of NURSING in Australia and proposes strategies for decolonisation. Through historical reflection and the lens of cultural safety and critical race theory, it examines some conditions which make up this concept, including "Florence Nightingale-influenced practices," "intellectual practitioners," and "whiteness in nursing." This analysis aims to identify conditions which we take to be necessary for the folk concept of NURSING to be satisfied and which result in negative outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The paper aims to explore the challenges rural nurses face during resuscitations, highlighting how this contributes to their professional isolation, and to propose strategies to alleviate these issues.
- It emphasizes that professional isolation is prevalent in low-resourced rural healthcare settings, particularly where small emergency departments are located far from major hospitals, and notes a lack of research on effective interventions.
- The findings suggest that professional isolation hinders skill development and career intent among rural nurses, and recommends solutions like leadership training, mentorship, and debriefing sessions to help improve their professional experiences and connections.

- Findings revealed diverse recruitment strategies, a shift towards digital data collection methods, and attempts to involve participants in decision-making through advisory panels, although success varied by age and socio-economic status.
