contents Front‐Liners on the Sidelines: The Credential Recognition Experiences of Filipino Internationally Educated Nurses Micah Leonida Tamara Krawchenko Nancy Clark Canadian Public Administration Abstract Communities across Canada face a shortage of medically trained professionals, the majority of which are nurses, as domestic supply has not kept pace with increasing demand for services. Alongside rising inflation, housing costs, and living expenses, persistent educational and accreditation inequities have created barriers and challenging contexts for internationally educated nurses (IENs) who aim to settle, integrate, and complete professional recertification processes to become registered nurses. This study explores the lived experiences of educational and accreditation factors from the perspective of fifteen recently migrated Filipino IENs in Victoria, British Columbia. Findings suggest that Filipino IENs experience financial and time barriers and deskilling which are part of an overarching theme of their credential recognition experience. The study offers policy recommendations for more equitable recertification pathways including provision of accessible information support pre‐ and post‐arrival and increased collaboration between clinical practice programs. 10.1111/capa.70023 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
