Recognition of nursing qualification and credentialing pathway of Filipino nurses in Finland: A qualitative study.

Recognition of previous education and clinical experience can facilitate the transition to becoming an RN for IENs, but the lack of a clear education model and recognition of foreign nursing qualifications leads to deskilling and hinders IENs from practising. Policies prioritising education and integration into the local healthcare system can facilitate the integration and professional growth of IENs, enabling them to contribute significantly to the healthcare system.
