On boarding competencies for foreign-educated nurses (FEN): A new care delivery model
The escalating increase in the futuristic demand for healthcare workers link international workforce migration to fill the need.
Cyclic in nature, the global migration of nurses is a major avenue to recruit and retain qualified nursing staff outside the country.
The literature in transitioning foreign-educated nurses (FEN) into the workforce has been numerous in the past, however, there is
little documentation in the transition utilizing standardized on-boarding competencies based on nursing professional development
standards, incorporation of lived experiences from current FENs, and on-boarding best practices. Guided by Meleis’ Transitions
Theory, the three developed on-boarding competencies were focused on FEN, Leadership, and Organizational competencies. A
qualitative descriptive phenomenological design using semi-structured interview guide utilizes the intentional process of knowing
and understanding of integration process by seeking to understand the phenomena and find meaning. The promoted targeted
educational investment in foreign-educated nurses could be instrumental in the successful transition to practice for safe, effective,
and efficient delivery of care within the U.S. healthcare.
