Topic: How internationally educated nurses can help solve the nursing crisis: A panel discussion and stories from IENs

Presented by: RNAO

Over 20,000 internationally educated nurses (IEN) are eager to be registered in Ontario to help fix the nursing crisis exacerbated by COVID-19.

Come listen to a panel discussion that will address the following topics:

• the lived experiences of IENs who are facing an arduous process to meet registration requirements and practice as registered nurses in Ontario
• overview of the various roadblocks to registration in Ontario
• why temporary initiatives such as the Long-Term Care Staffing Pool Program are unhelpful and short-sighted
• actions RNAO is taking to expedite the path to registration in Ontario

Join in the discussion to learn about the issues and how you can help advocate for swift and appropriate solutions.
