Abstract
This interpretive description study explores the phenomenon of the locum nurse in rural and remote areas of Australia. Findings from interviews with 19 participants who chose locum work in rural and remote areas aids understanding of the issues and challenges they experienced and how this impacted on their recruitment and retention. The description component brings elements of the locum nurse role and their experiences to the awareness of others, while the interpretation component provides a level of sense-making derived from the patterns and themes in the findings that may potentially change the way the phenomena of the locum nurse is normally considered.
