title: Labrador health care comes home.
abstract: The recruitment and retention of nurses in isolated communities in Canada's North is a chronic problem. Non-native nurses, usually from urban areas, face cultural and lifestyle differences that make many unwilling to stay in these communities. Plus, they rarely have cross-cultural training or experience. On the other side, the residents must often discuss the private details of their lives with nurses from a foreign culture and in a language other than their native tongue.
