摘要

Timely and concrete action is required at all levels of government and by nursing regulators across the countries to enable internationally educated nurses to contribute their deep experience and expertise to healthcare systems, which is being impacted by healthcare workforce shortages and a rapidly aging population in developed countries. There is an urgent need to dismantle the barriers to practice that internationally educated nurses (IENs) currently are facing. Support for successful integration is the respect nurses need and deserve when they have uprooted their lives and moved countries to practice. All workers, be they domestically or internationally educated, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect in their workplace. This chapter’s recommendations outline concrete achievable strategies to clear pathways for IENs to practice and, in turn, ease the pressure in nursing across the country.
