The shortage of nurses worldwide is a well-known issue that has changed the health and social workforce picture. Increased recruitment and migration of internationally educated nurses in the health and social care workforce pose many risks to successful integration into the healthcare system. Understanding the barriers and enablers affecting their integration in their host countries is imperative.
To critically and systematically review the current literature to explore the transitioning experiences of internationally educated nurses to understand the enabling influences affecting their workforce integration into their host countries.
A narrative systematic literature review was conducted. This study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (Registered Number: CRD42023401090). The study results were reported as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
A comprehensive literature search using the search engines CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Academic Search, and PubMed was conducted. Only peer-reviewed papers written in the English language were included. Primary research studies published between 2019 and 2023, which explored the lived experiences of internationally educated nurses, were considered for review.
Seventeen studies (16 qualitative and one quantitative) were included in the review. Three main themes were developed: (1) push and pull factors that mediated internationally educated nurses' migration experiences, (2) one-way integration logic, and (3) expectations versus reality.
There is a need for a comprehensive and collaborative organisational approach to enhance the integration experiences of internationally educated nurses into their host countries. This can also ensure their contribution is recognised and will help them fulfil the responsibilities of their role and become influential team members within their organisations. This comprehensive and collaborative approach is also required to tackle discrimination, racism, communication and language barriers. Addressing these challenges can improve internationally educated nurses' job satisfaction and, thereby, improve retention.

全球护士短缺是一个众所周知的问题，它改变了卫生和社会劳动力格局。在卫生和社会护理劳动力队伍中，国际教育背景护士招聘和移民的增加给成功融入医疗保健系统带来了诸多风险。了解影响他们在东道国融入的障碍和促进因素至关重要。
批判性地、系统地回顾当前文献，以探索国际教育背景护士的转型经历，了解影响他们融入东道国劳动力队伍的促进因素。
进行了一项叙述性系统文献综述。本研究已在国际前瞻性系统评价注册库注册（注册号：CRD42023401090）。研究结果按照系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目指南进行报告。
使用CINAHL、MEDLINE、PsycINFO、学术搜索和PubMed搜索引擎进行全面的文献检索。仅纳入以英语撰写的同行评审论文。考虑对2019年至2023年发表的探索国际教育背景护士生活经历的原发性研究进行综述。
该综述纳入了17项研究（16项定性研究和1项定量研究）。形成了三个主要主题：（1）介导国际教育背景护士移民经历的推拉因素，（2）单向融合逻辑，（3）期望与现实。
需要一种全面且协作的组织方法来增强国际教育背景护士在东道国的融入体验。这还可以确保他们的贡献得到认可，并有助于他们履行职责，成为所在组织中有影响力的团队成员。还需要这种全面且协作的方法来应对歧视、种族主义、沟通和语言障碍。应对这些挑战可以提高国际教育背景护士的工作满意度，从而提高留用率。
