Supporting Practice Transition and Workforce Integration for Internationally Educated Nurses

Résumé fourni par la source

Supporting Practice Transition and Workforce Integration for Internationally Educated NursesInternationally educated nurses (IENs) are vital to the healthcare workforce, particularly as healthcare systems continue to contend with persistent staffing shortages.According to the 2024 Trumerit (CGFNS) Nurse Migration Report, international nurse migration to the United States remained strong throughout 2024, with the U.S. healthcare systems continuing to rely on foreign-educated nurses to address persistent staffing shortages.The report also cautions that disruptions to this migration pipeline could exacerbate workforce gaps, increase nurse patient workloads, and intensify burnout among U.S. nurses.More broadly, the report emphasizes that while destination countries benefit from migrant nurses in filling critical shortages, source countries may experience workforce losses thus highlighting the shared global responsibility inherent in nurse migration (Trumerit, 2024).However, the transition into practice for IENs is often shaped by systemic and cultural barriers.This paper is in response to a presentation by Caso Vega et al. (2025) at the National Teaching Institute & Critical Care Exposition (NTI), hosted by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses.Drawing on recent scholarship and professional insights from this event, this commentary examines key challenges, evidenceinformed strategies, and future directions, adopting a solution-focused lens that emphasizes leadership approaches to support the successful transition to practice and workforce integration for internationally educated nurses.
