1.Trends and issues in international nurse migration: A Canadian perspective.
Philippine Journal of Nursing 2018;88(2):3-7
This paper explores the issues surrounding international nurse migration to Canada. Within the context of Karl Marx's idea of a "disposable industrial reserve army [of labor]" (Magdoff & Magdoff, p. 20; Marx, 1887, p. 438), this paper posits that internationally educated nurses (IENs) are viewed as disposable labour who have the potential to assume different labour requirements needed by the receiving nation state (Magdoff & Magdoff, p. 26). This paper provides a brief background of international nurse migration in history and literature. It proceeds to explore the issue of gendered and racialized labour, and a more focused discussion of the current state and pathways of IEN migration to, and the plight of IENs in Canada.

Emotional intelligence (EI) and its potential to transform nursing education and practice were examined using available literature. The concept of EI was explored and its relationship with intelligence quotient, a traditional indicator of success, was discussed. Current literature indicates EI's potential to enhance an individual's chances of success in his or her career. As a relational based discipline, the integration of EI with nursing education and practice may potentially contribute to the transformation of the nursing profession. Further studies are required to more accurately measure or understand the various facets of this uniquely human and personal skill and how it directly relates to success in higher education, nursing education, and nursing practice, and ultimately transform nursing practice.
