The conference gave an idea of undergraduate and graduate education policy about critical care developed in Anna Nery School of Nursing (EEAN) from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It was presented by the Visit Program AACN in 2000, September, when 55 nurses form USA, Latin America, Europe and Australia came to EEAN in a cultural and scientific interchange. We also had discussed about state of art and practice in critical care, in USA and Brazil, and the perspective we started a cooperatio program in this area.
