  • Title: A buddy program for international nurses.
    Author: Ryan M.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 2003 Jun; 33(6):350-2. PubMed ID: 12796633.
    Abstract:
    To help alleviate the nursing shortage, nurses from overseas are being recruited. These nurses must adjust to numerous cultural, social, and organizational experiences. Using Pilette's phases of adjustment and a theoretical framework, the author discusses a Buddy Program that has been instituted in a community hospital to provide support and resources to help international nurses with their earliest phase of acculturation.
