The Council of Remote Area Nurses Australia Conference (CRANA) celebrated 18 years of nursing service to remote communities with Commonwealth funding of more than $570,000 Parliamentary Secretary for Health and Aged Care, Senator Grant Tambling said today.
CRANA is a highly respected organisation that provides support to remote area nurses who face geographical, social and professional isolation on a daily basis.
An important part of CRANA's support to members is its Bush Crisis Line, a 24 hour telephone counselling service which provides debriefing and counselling to remote area health workers for job-related trauma to isolated rural and remote health practitioners and their families.
The C-5A, of course, is a large transport plane, the kind flown by the Air National Guard’s 105th Airlift Wing based at Stewart Airport.
Crana’s mom, Barbara, said he sees the C-5As fly over all the time.
Not all of them were as sure about their futures as Crana, but parents like Sue DeSantis of New Windsor appreciated the effort to start their children thinking about careers.
