title: Public health nursing partnership: agencies and academe.
abstract: The authors describe an approach to bridging the education-practice gap in nursing through a joint venture between a nursing center in a college of nursing and a public health department. The purposes of the cooperative efforts are defined and the services described. Administrative problems and solutions in such a venture are explored and evaluation methods explained. Finally, opportunities for expansion of the venture are considered.
