Are you an internationally educated nurse working in cancer or palliative care setting in Australia?

Have you obtained your initial nursing qualification overseas before migrating to Australia?

We are seeking for volunteers to participate in our study.    

What is this study about?

This research aims to understand the experiences of internationally educated nurses (IEN) in the context of cancer and end-of-life care. This study explores and analyses how cultural beliefs and practices of IENs inform their delivery of nursing care. Considering the cultural diversity of Australia and its nursing workforce, understanding this phenomenon deserves attention to advance culturally sensitive care and enhance IENs' workplace experience.

• With work experience in cancer or palliative care setting in Australia for 12 months or greater.

What do I need to do?
