Abstract
[...] the goal of a fourth project - Career Mobility Program for Public Health Nurses, Health Resource Services Administration (2001-2005) - was to strengthen the Missouri public health agencies through furthering the education of Missouri public health nurses. Because the public health system in the United States has been experiencing rapid change and previously unknown challenges, these nurses are being thrust into new roles and must manage issues for which many are not prepared.\n When faculty from the United States visited Canada, they grew to appreciate the culture of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and one of them even experienced the Canadian medical system in Halifax as a patient.
