• Sommario/riassunto: ""Each chapter depicts nurses facing and overcoming a multitude of challenges as they addressed the medical needs of rural Americans. Because of their spirit of acceptance and community cooperation, their outcomes were remarkable: fully immunized communities, a decrease in mortality rates, statewide health policy implementation, and growth in community pride. The resilience of these nurses and their communities serves as a source of professional pride for problems solved and health enhanced."". -Mary S. Collins , PhD, RN, FAAN. Glover-Crask Professor of Nursing. Director, DNP Program. Wegmans
