The three types of horse therapy interventions had a significant impact on gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy (SMD = 0.19, 95% CI 0.02-0.36, <i>p</i> = 0.031).

This article describes the creation and implementation of the Enhanced Primary Care Registered Nurse (EPCRN) role in rural primary care clinics, as well as evaluates student perceptions of the EPCRN-precepted clinical experience. One nursing school used a federal training award to create the role of Enhanced Primary Care Registered Nurses (EPCRNs) to practice in federally-designated Rural Health Clinics. The EPCRNs worked in the Rural Health Clinics performing patient care and also functioned as student preceptors. Student experiences were evaluated through quantitative and qualitative methods, namely the Clinical Learning Experience, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher (CLES+T) scale and focus groups. This pilot project demonstrated positive pre-licensure student experience feedback as well as role value and sustainability for the health system.
