Aim: The aim of this study was to explore experiences of internationally educated nurses' first 2 years working and living in England in an age of contemporary migration.
Design: Exploratory mixed method design.
Methods: An online survey collected responses from August 2022 to October 2022.
Background: Nursing deficits are growing, and healthcare providers in developed countries must address the challenges of ethically building a sustainable workforce without a continued excessive reliance on overseas recruitment. To secure this, a focus on long-term retention of international recruits is paramount.
Objective: To explore the migration motivations and experiences of initial integration for internationally recruited nurses within the healthcare system (England).
Aim: To explore factors that influence registered nurses' intention to stay working in the healthcare sector.
Design: A systematic review and narrative synthesis.
Methods: CINAHL, Medline and Cochrane library databases were searched from Jan 2010 to Jan 2022 inclusive and research selected using a structured criterion, quality appraisal and data extraction and synthesis were guided by Campbell's Synthesis Without Meta-analysis.
Background: International nurses (migrant nurses who are recruited to work in different countries) make essential contributions to global health and care workforces that are experiencing domestic nurse shortages. Global recruitment and migration is increasing, and with growing dependency on international nurses, health and care employers must understand their lived experiences if they want to support acculturation and subsequent retention.
Aim: This paper reports a systematic review of qualitative literature on the experiences of international nurses working overseas.
