Abstract

Mentoring entered the literature about the problem of workforce for Australian rural nurses because of a combination of political and academic will. These collective groups are now changing how they are framing the problem of workforce to focus instead on the globalization of nursing workforce shortages, which is resulting in diminished support for mentoring activities in clinical practice.
