移民护士占澳大利亚护士劳动力的很大比例。由于在工作场所的支持预计将是包容性的所有护士，本文的目的是探讨如何支持和专业成长，学习和发展的机会分布在不同类别的护士在新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）工作。民族志的方法已经打开了在新生儿重症监护室的日常工作场所的做法，以深入了解护士如何使自己和他们的高级同事之间发生的社会和权力关系的意义，以及他们如何经历的支持和机会，他们在他们的工作场所。由于今天的工作场所，如新生儿重症监护室，在种族、文化和经验方面多种多样，交叉性和文化安全的概念有助于确定与这种多样性有关的不平等和不公正。结果表明，庇护关系使护士与移民身份的主要不利因素，并离开他们的临床和文化脆弱。这种不平等违背了鼓励护士技术移民的理由，并对招聘组织的文化能力提出了质疑。考虑如何文化安全可能会引导员工的发展提供了机会，真正的支持，以文化多样性的护士。
Immigrant nurses make up a large percentage of the Australian nursing workforce. Since the support in the workplace is expected to be inclusive for all nurses, the aim of this article is to explore how support and opportunities for professional growth, learning and development are distributed across different categories of nurses working in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). An ethnographic approach has opened an examination of the everyday workplace practices in the NICU to gain insight into how nurses made sense of the social and power relations occurring between themselves and their senior colleagues and how they experienced the support and opportunities they received in their workplace. As today's workplaces such as the NICU are diverse in races, culture and experiences, the concepts of intersectionality and cultural safety assisted in identifying inequality and injustice related to such diversity. The results showed how patronage relations rendered nurses with immigrant status with major disadvantage and left them clinically and culturally vulnerable. Such inequity defeats the reasons for encouraging skilled migration of nurses and poses questions on the cultural competency of recruiting organisations. Considering how cultural safety might guide staff development offers opportunities for authentic support to culturally diverse nurses.
