About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The Journal of the Society of Internationally Educated Nurses (JSIEN) serves as a prestigious global platform dedicated to the dissemination of peer-reviewed research and scholarly works produced by internationally educated nurses (IENs). JSIEN aims to foster a deeper understanding of the unique perspectives and expertise that internationally educated nurses bring to the healthcare field. We strive to promote excellence in nursing practice, education, and research, and to support the professional growth and recognition of IENs globally.

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.
