Post colonial research and scholarship and its potential to transform the experiences of Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) is an area needing consideration in research today. This paper focuses on the personal experiences encountered when teaching and learning with IENs using available literature to question how nursing education is perhaps colonialist and not able to meet the needs of this vulnerable population. Findings suggest that there are macro levels of political and socio-economic influences dominating nursing education. Hence, post colonial research can assist nurses to explore and to challenge the manner in which nursing education is developed.
