Globalization and Integration of Internationally Educated Nurses: A Comprehensive Analysis

Beschreibung

This book is a guide for stakeholders in nurse migration at a time when the shortage of nurses is a global crisis and the underutilization of Internationally Educated Nurses (IEN) a major factor. Each chapter offers perspectives on the migration processes and pathways impacting IEN integration in Canada, USA, Finland, Australia & the UK—top destination countries. Through a comparison of strengths and obstacles, we learn what works for the purpose of global replication. Issues considered include: * Decision factors when choosing a destination country or a second migration * Licensing processes * Strategies to assist in navigating the licensure process and achieving sustained employment * Actions stakeholders need to adopt to support retention and ethical recruitment * Solutions and recommendations for streamlining migration and integration. This book focuses holistically on integration measures that impact IENs—families, workforce, healthcare, economies, and migration—as well as government and international immigration policies, such as those of the World Health Organization and the International Council of Nurses.
