While this study focused on Doctors in the NZ health system, I think that there are some clear takeaways for the Aged Care sector in both NZ and Australia. The Aged Care sector in both countries recruits heavily from overseas for Registered Nurses and there is unfortunately a high level of turnover in the industry. While reasons such as pay contribute to the issue (and shouldn't be overlooked!), each provider should be looking at their onboarding practices as well as their ongoing support for nurses to ensure that their new employees thrive in their new roles. It takes a huge amount of effort to recruit and induct new nurses from other countries so every effort should be made to help them adjust. This article shows that some initial, one-off type training isn't enough and that ongoing support will be needed.

This is so important Ryan and such an important issue across aged care and primary healthcare. The interesting thing is that it doesn't have to be this way and learning solutions exist today to deal with this pain ... both the pain of the individuals in these roles and the organisational pain that results.
