Promoting nurse mobility within the European Union can address shortages. The European Healthcare Teaching and Accreditation Network (EHTAN) project developed a competency matrix to compare nursing skills across countries, overcoming a key barrier.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare workforce mobility
  • Nursing education and practice
  • International professional standards

Context:

  • Addressing the nursing shortage in European Union (EU) member states.
  • Identifying cultural and professional differences as barriers to nurse mobility.
  • Lack of standardized tools for comparing nursing competencies internationally.

Purpose:

  • To introduce the methodology and initial phases of the EHTAN project.
  • To propose a solution for evaluating and self-evaluating nursing competencies across EU countries.
  • To facilitate the comparison of nursing education, formation, and practices.

Summary:

  • The EHTAN project aims to enhance nurse mobility within the EU to combat workforce shortages.
  • A novel competency matrix tool has been developed for evaluating and self-evaluating nursing competencies.
