A prospective longitudinal study was made among 51 requalified nurses selected by simple random sampling from a group of nurses that worked under the same conditions at the University Hospital of Port au Prince, Republic of Haiti, between May and Ocotber, 1999, aimed at assessing the performance and profesionalism of the group that received continuing education from Cuban nursing personnel. Data were collected by observation and included in questionnaries that were individually applied. Information was processed by computer and the test of difference of proportions was used for its validation. The analysis of the results revealed that a significant number of nurses got a satisfactory evaluation in the professional self-regulation with students, medical team, patients and nurses. As to performance, nursing interventions in the different techniques and basic procedures for patient care and profesionalism, a considerable amount of nurses also had a good assessment with a remarkable statistical significance. It was concluded that all these achievements were possible thanks to the internationalist medical mission fulfilled by the authors in that country.
