AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Filipina nurses represent the majority of all internationally educated nurses recruited to work in the US. Although the hiring of Filipina nurses is not a new practice in US hospitals, very few studies have detailed how these nurses have adjusted to US nursing practices. This study examines how Filipina nurses transition into their role as nurses and adapt to nursing practice in the US. Following a qualitative approach, 31 Filipina nurses were interviewed as participants. The data were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim, using the method of constant comparison. Analysis revealed that transitioning from Philippine to US nursing practice formed the basis of the social adaptation process, which occurred in three stages: pre-arrival, early adaptation, and late adaptation. Participant-recommended strategies to address adaptation needs experienced at each of these stages are shared. All participants experienced challenges while adjusting to the US healthcare system and cultural landscape.

Background: The United Kingdom has recruited nurses from countries with a reported surplus in their nursing workforce, such as India and the Philippines.

Background: Previous bone mineral density (BMD) studies have suggested Asian women have lower BMD and Hispanic women have similar or higher BMD compared with Caucasian women, partially explained by ethnic differences in body size. This study compared the effect of different variables representing body size on BMD in postmenopausal women aged 50-69 years from three ethnic groups in San Diego County, CA: 354 Caucasians, 285 Filipinas, and 164 Hispanics.
Methods: In all three groups, BMD was measured by DXA (Hologic 2000) at the hip, lumbar spine, and total body.
