520 $a Research questions. What are the job participation patterns of FENs? What are the determinants factors of FEN job participation?
520 $a Study method. Secondary data analysis was used with data sets from 1980 to 2000 using the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN).
520 $a The migration of Foreign-Educated Nurse (FENs) to the United States has risen sharply in recent years. Little is known about how FENs affect the employment opportunity of U.S. registered nurses (USRNs).
520 $a Results. From 1980 to 2000, most FENs were middle-aged (an average of 45 years old in 2000), female (94%), Non-white (67.7%), married (72.7%), had children at home (65%), highest education from baccalaureate degree (43.5%), were more likely to work in hospital (72%), and work more full time (84%) than part time (12%). Furthermore, higher proportions (70%) of FENs provide direct patient care. In general, FENs work more hours per week (average 37 to 41 hours per week) and have higher salary (Average $4 7675, median $4 8600). Most FENs live in a metropolitan area (93%) in six States: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Texas.
520 $a Discussion. Supporting evidence show variations within FENs in terms of their job participation patterns. It is also questionable whether the U.S. nurse shortage can be eased by FEN recruitments. During the past 20 years (from 1980 to 2000) the U.S. added more than one million RNs to the work force. However, the major challenge is to keep nurses in the profession. Changing work design to better accommodate nurses across the life span is important to attract them back to nursing.
520 $a Conclusion. In the U.S., FENs come from diverse countries with approximately 75% migrating from Canada, India, Philippines, and the UK. If the U.S. immigration policies were changed to import more FENs, the most seriously affected countries might be Canada and the UK, as these countries are linked by language, culture, and social background. Another 25% of FENs were from developing countries. It is important to note that recruitment of small proportions of FENs from developing countries could cause serious inequity in global health. According to this study, the U.S. nurse supply could be self-sufficient by recruiting 2% of the inactive RNs or 1% of the FT nurses. In this global nurse market, the import of FENs needs to be balanced between domestic nurse supply and global health equity.
