International Transferability of Nurse Practitioner Credentials in Five Countries
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Globally, better utilization of nurse practitioners is recognized as an important strategy to address country needs for improved population health and increased access to high-quality care. This article examines the mobility of internationally educated nurse practitioners by comparing the regulatory requirements in 5 countries. Differences in health care system and policy contexts regionally and nationally have resulted in variations in education, credentialing, and scope of practice. As a result, mobility of the nurse practitioner workforce within and across countries is restricted. Further policy work is needed at international and national levels to address this issue.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
