Danish Public Health Nurse
Brings Experience, New Ideas
After six years as a public
health nurse in Copenhagen, Den
mark, blond, smiling Margarithe
Peterson decided she’d like to
travel, learn a new language and
meet some new people so she
came to Canada.
She landed in Montreal in
July last year and it wasn’t long
before she was working in the
operating room of Children’s
Memorial Hospital there. She re
membered some of the scattered
gramatieal English taught at
high school, but one can imagine
how little good that would be
when it came to English names
for surgical instruments.
During the eight months she
was in Montreal, she learned a
lot of English, read English
books whenever she had time,
her trusty dictionary always
handy, and took every oppor
tunity to speak the language.
Even now, while there are sev
eral Danish people in the dist
rict, she prefers to speak English
all of the time because she feels
it’s a definite step backwards to
fall back on her native tongue
when she might he learning
more about the new language in
every conversation.
From the time she came, over
to Canada. Miss Peterson had
her eye set on Canadian Public
Health work, which, she
plains, is very similar to
done in Denmark. After
weeks in Saskatchewan at a
Cross outpost hospital,
worked for a while in Toronto
and then came to Huron Coun
ty’s centre at Clinton and finally
Exeter.
Now she has a good working ,
knowledge of English but she
still runs into snags. One day
last week, she visited the home

Miss Peterson had
the scarcity of Canadian nurses
before she came but she didn’t
realize how acute it was until
she worked in Montreal with
five others on a ward, only one
of which spoke native English.
The training for nurses i|
Denmark takes four years com
pared to three in Canada and
Danish girls must be 20 years
of age before they are eligible
for training.
While Denmark began in the
public health field long before
Canada, it suffered many of the
growing pains that Canada is
experiencing now. The whole
idea behind it is to promote
good health and prevent sickness
rather than waiting to cure it.
Here, Miss Peterson often
feels there isn’t enough time to
see babies as often as she would
like. While she enjoys work with
