Background: International collaborative programs and student active learning are encouraged; yet, little is known about them. Purpose: To compare nursing students' self-rated nurse professional competence (NPC) and general self-efficacy between those enrolled in an international collaborative program, which focused on student active learning, and those enrolled in a traditional lecture-based program at the end of graduation and 1 year later. Methods: This prospective comparative study distributed a questionnaire to 137 nursing students enrolled in the 2 bachelor-level programs at a university in southeastern China. Results: At the end of graduation, students enrolled in the international collaborative program reported higher scores for NPC factors, medical and technical care and general self-efficacy, than those enrolled in the traditional lecture-based program. One year later, they reported higher scores for total NPC, value-based nursing care, medical and technical care, care pedagogics, documentation and administration of nursing care, and general self-efficacy than others. Conclusion: This study found that the nursing students enrolled in the international collaborative program reported higher self-rated competence.

IQNs often rate their competence higher than domestic graduates due to their extensive nursing work experience (Högstedt et al., 2022). The study participants were specialist nurses who had work experience both overseas and in Australia, with a combined mean total of 18.62 years.…”

AimTo identify barriers and facilitators of speciality skill transfer for internationally qualified nurses in Australia from the nurses' perspective.DesignA cross‐sectional study.MethodsA cross‐sectional online survey was distributed through social media, snowballing and nursing professional organization. Data analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.Data SourcesOnline survey data from participants matching the inclusion criteria were collected from July to September 2022.ResultsSurvey results reveal facilitators (competence, scope of practice, linguistic sufficiency, understanding of decision‐making) and barriers (lack of opportunity, transition pathways, confidence in overseas education, financial instability) for internationally qualified nurses' speciality skill utilization in Australia.ConclusionIdentifying and addressing barriers and facilitators, along with developing tailored transition pathways, are crucial for maximizing speciality skill utilization among internationally qualified nurses. These findings have implications for policymakers, healthcare organizations and nurses. They highlight the need to address barriers, facilitate smooth transitions and implement proactive measures for internationally qualified nurses to effectively utilize their specialty skills.ImpactThe study addresses maximizing skill usage for internationally qualified nurses, identifies barriers and facilitators for specialty skill transfer in Australia and will impact policymakers, healthcare organizations and nurses by guiding strategies for safe nursing service delivery and optimizing patient care.Reporting MethodSTROBE checklist.Patient or Public ContributionA total of 71 internationally qualified nurses contributed their experiences and opinions.What Does this Paper Contribute to the Wider Global Clinical Community? Lack of opportunity and the lack of transition pathways inhibit the use of specialty nursing skills by internationally qualified nurses. This study's findings contradict the result of other studies that suggest language is a significant obstacle to the utilization of specialty skills of internationally qualified nurses. Trial and Protocol RegistrationThe protocol is registered on OSF. The data for this study are available for sharing with the reviewers upon request. However, it is worth noting that ethical approval has not been obtained specifically for web sharing, and therefore, the data has not been posted in any repositories or public platforms.
