Area of Science:

  • Nursing Workforce Studies
  • Global Health Migration
  • Healthcare Professional Integration

Background:

  • Nurse migration has increased globally, with Canada being a major destination for internationally educated nurses (IENs).
  • Ontario employs half of all IENs registered in Canada, highlighting its significance as a settlement jurisdiction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To profile nurses educated in different countries employed in the Ontario workforce.
  • To understand the adaptation of internationally educated nurses in a new healthcare setting.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of published literature and secondary data.
  • Profiling of nurse cohorts educated in various countries within the Ontario workforce.

Main Results:

  • Internationally educated nurses in Ontario predominantly settle in urban areas.
  • Significant variations exist among IEN cohorts regarding age, gender, work status, and employment type/location.

Conclusions:

  • A detailed description of IENs in the Ontario workforce is possible, despite quantification challenges.
  • Generalizations about IENs must be made cautiously due to cohort diversity.
  • Regulatory conditions and international educational differences impact IEN employment and highlight the need for global nursing standards.
