About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The Journal of the Society of Internationally Educated Nurses (JSIEN) serves as a global platform for peer-reviewed research and scholarly works dedicated to addressing topics relevant to internationally educated nurses (IENs). We aim to publish selected works related to issues affecting IENs in areas including but not limited to international nursing migration, nursing mobility, ethical nurse recruitment, regulation, policy, licensing, integration, assimilation and acculturation, education, mentoring, and advocacy. The journal publishes original research, literature reviews, short communications, commentaries, and letters to the editor. A special section of the journal is dedicated to networking and successful stories. In this section, authors can share their experiences and inspire other IENs to set and achieve their goals. Authors are encouraged to offer networking and mentoring opportunities to fellow IENs.
