Transition program supports international nurse acculturation

A 2019 survey of 64 U.S. nurse leaders shed light on the clinical performance of internationally educated nurses (IENs) who completed a 5-week acculturation program at a recruitment and staffing agency. Respondents said the IENs performed well in areas of communication, caring practices related to patient advocacy and empowerment and core bedside nursing skills. The study appears in the February issue of Nurse Management.
