Abstract
The purpose of this study was to understand Internationally Educated Nurses’ (IENs) experiences of registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) and the impact of the registration process on their health. Giorgi’s (2009) Descriptive Phenomenological Method was used. Giorgi’s (2009) descriptive method follows Heidegger's phenomenology which helps the researchers to understand the essence of a phenomenon. In addition, this method allowed the researcher to analyze the phenomenon using a higher level of discourse (from the lens of nursing discipline) (Giorgi, 2009). The Population Health Promotion Model (PHPM) was used as the theoretical lens to view findings at a higher level of discourse to examine the health outcomes during IEN’s registration with the CNO. Participants shared their experiences through written descriptions. Data analysis/synthesis was done using the six steps of Giorgi’s (2009) data analysis method. These results increase our understanding of the registration process in Ontario.
