Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • International Nursing Recruitment
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Supervised practice programs are crucial for internationally recruited nurses (IRNs) transitioning to new healthcare systems.
  • Understanding the experiences of both IRNs and their mentors is vital for program optimization.
  • Nurses must achieve specific competencies, such as those set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), for professional practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the experiences of internationally recruited nurses (IRNs) and their mentors in a supervised practice program.
  • To identify factors influencing the time taken for IRNs to achieve NMC competencies.
  • To assess the perceived benefits and challenges of the supervised practice framework.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews with IRNs and mentors.
  • Quantitative questionnaire survey administered to participants.
  • Analysis of interview transcripts and survey responses to identify themes and influencing factors.

Main Results:

  • The supervised practice program was largely perceived as a beneficial and supportive framework by most participants.
  • Mentors provided valuable guidance and support, facilitating the integration of IRNs.
  • Key factors influencing competency achievement included clinical support, language proficiency, and cultural adaptation.

Conclusions:

  • Supervised practice programs offer a valuable structure for supporting internationally recruited nurses.
  • Addressing challenges related to integration and competency development can enhance program effectiveness.
  • Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to validate findings and generalize results.
