Abstract

A group of health care professionals developed a re-learning model to be utilized in preparing internationally educated nurses who are facing challenges in successfully obtaining a nursing license to begin their practice in the United States. A community based project was initiated based on model ACHIEVE and the initial findings suggests that common areas of difficulty exists among internationally prepared nurses. The insight gained from this project can prove beneficial to the local and international nursing education community, in improving nursing education for global practice.
