Area of Science:

  • Nursing workforce integration
  • Health equity in rural settings
  • Healthcare policy and regulation

Background:

  • Internationally educated nurses (IENs) are vital to Canada's healthcare system.
  • IENs often encounter lengthy licensure procedures and limited opportunities, especially in remote areas.
  • Understanding IEN experiences is crucial for effective workforce integration and retention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the experiences, motivations, and perceived inequities of IENs in northern British Columbia.
  • To identify systemic, geographic, and regulatory obstacles hindering IEN workforce integration.
  • To explore how perceived inequities impact IEN motivation, engagement, and participation.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach combining focus groups, interviews (n=13), and an online survey (n=79).
  • Inclusion of a key partner workshop (n=16) with regulators, educators, union, and health system representatives.
  • Study guided by Equity Theory and organizational perspectives.

Main Results:

  • Four key themes emerged: resourcefulness, rural living experiences, mental health and identity, and registration process challenges.
  • Participants displayed resilience and commitment but faced delays, financial difficulties, and inadequate local training and support.
  • Survey data corroborated the identified barriers, highlighting the need for improved access and support systems.

Conclusions:

  • Successful IEN integration necessitates coordinated, equity-focused partnerships among regulators, educators, and employers.
  • Strengthening collaborations can streamline licensure, enhance retention, and bolster healthcare capacity in underserved regions.
  • Addressing systemic and regulatory barriers is essential for equitable IEN workforce integration.
