Aim The purpose of the present study was to explore the perceptions of Korean and Japanese nurses' about nursing in Australia.Background There are increasing numbers of overseas nurses entering Australian nursing. More nurses educated in Asian countries are arriving.Study design Qualitative research methodology comprised in-depth semi-structured interviews with five registered nurses, who had worked in both Australia and their home country.Results The research participants were mostly satisfied with working conditions, support and continuing nursing education in Australia. However, English language deficits, differences in culture and beliefs about the nurse's role were found, that could create the potential for misunderstandings. They also recognized that too much help may be a form of covert discrimination.Conclusions The participants had some transition issues, particularly in adjusting to differences in the role of the nurse between Korea or Japan and Australia. This research highlights potential sources of misunderstanding and dissatisfaction which may be worth exploring in relation to other cultures.Implications for nursing management Addressing the findings of this research may help nurse managers better anticipate and address issues which may cause difficulties for overseas nurses' adjusting to nursing in a new culture.
