Canada announced more than $388,000 in additional funding towards the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing's (CASN) National Nurse Residency Program.
This investment will support the integration of Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) into Canada's health care system. Through initiatives such as a pilot IEN mentorship program, this will provide health care organizations, staff nurses working with IENs, and newly hired IENs with the support and tools needed to build stronger health care teams. This funding will also support workshops and training for IENs entering the Canadian nursing workforce and their mentors to provide IENs with the support they need to integrate effectively into the Canadian health workforce.
