Greetings,

RNAO proudly partners with the CARE Centre for Internationally Educated Nurses (CARE Centre) who offer a virtual mentoring program for Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs). The program aims to increase IENs' understanding of the role and scope of practice of a nurse in a particular health care setting, and better acquaint them with the language and culture of the Canadian workplace. It is an opportunity to connect and have their questions/inquiries addressed by an expert nurse (mentor).
