How to successfully hire internationally educated nurses -

McMaster University and the Ontario Hospital Association have released a guide--called Internationally Educated Nurses: An Employer's Guide--that highlights health care organizations that successfully executed IEN recruitment and training. Specifically, the guide covers topics including workforce diversity, cultural competence, recruitment strategies, screening processes, and hiring practices.

I wouldn't imagine this would be a concern for most employers.There are plenty of Canadian citizens looking for nursing jobs and recruitment of IENs isn't really an issue.

It is rather ironic that the province that is in the middle of a hiring freeze and is issuing layoff warnings would also be promoting the hiring of IENs.
