Internationally educated nurses (IENs) face significant challenges, including language and cultural barriers, during licensure in Canada. However, IENs are experienced professionals with high retention and job satisfaction, offering valuable contributions to the healthcare system.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Workforce
  • Healthcare Integration
  • International Healthcare Professionals

Background:

  • Internationally educated nurses (IENs) possess diverse skills but face underutilization in Canada.
  • Licensure challenges, including language and cultural differences, impede IENs' full contribution.
  • IENs demonstrate strong retention and job satisfaction, indicating potential value to the healthcare system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the demographics, challenges, and contributions of IENs in Canada.
  • To inform nursing colleagues about the experiences of IENs.
  • To identify needs for successful integration of IENs into the Canadian healthcare system.

Main Methods:

  • This article synthesizes existing knowledge on IENs.

  • It reviews demographic information and challenges faced by IENs.
  • It discusses the integration process and necessary support systems.

    • Main Results:

    • IENs encounter significant difficulties with language, cultural norms, and differing healthcare systems.
    • Despite challenges, IENs are generally experienced, satisfied, and retained.
    • Their skills and experience are often not fully utilized.

    Conclusions:

    • Supportive programs are crucial for IENs, addressing language, cultural, and practice gaps.
    • Psychosocial, economic, and employment support are vital for successful integration.
    • Facilitating IENs' transition benefits both the nurses and the Canadian healthcare system.
