Global Nursing-a literature review in the field of education and practice

“…Moving towards the mid‐2010s, global leadership, global competencies and networks have arisen as important questions in the Global Nursing debate (Garner, Metcalfe & Hallyburton, 2009; Harrowing, Mill, Spiers, Kulig, & Kipp, 2010). At the beginning of 2020, the use of nurses’ professional competence in relation to vulnerability in health on a global scale and forming nursing competence in international work has dominated the Global Nursing arena (Brunetto, Farr‐Wharton, & Shacklock, 2012; Gutierrez, Candela, & Carver, 2012; Lesia & Roets, 2013; Squires & Juárez, 2012; Toren, Zelker, & Porat, 2012; Walton‐Roberts, 2012; Zhou, Windsor, Theobald, & Coyer, 2011; Zinsli & Smythe, 2009). Finally, in the mid‐2020s, the question of global leadership, nursing faculty competence, and discussions on nurse professionals and nurse faculty retirement has been key issues (Havens, Warshawsky, & Vasey, 2013; Meum, Ellingsen, Monteiro, Wangensteen, & Igesund, 2013; Tourangeau et al.,2014).…”

“…In the articles, Global Nursing practice in dynamic working environments was influenced by predictors such as encouragement in the work place; an organizational culture that values diversity and an inclusive social atmosphere (Garner et al., 2008; Gerrish & Griffith, 2003; Harrowing et al., 2010; Havens et al., 2013; Kim et al., 2006; Toren et al., 2012; Tourangeau et al., 2014; Weng et al., 2015). Nurse professionals’ equal opportunities for professional practice, use of competence and collaboration in academic and practice contexts were described as essential in supportive environments (Garner et al., 2008; Gerrish & Griffith, 2003; Harrowing et al., 2010; Wros et al., 2004).…”

“…Challenges in global practice environments were mentioned and often linked to inequalities in nursing practice such as marginalization and differences in professional equality (Kim et al., 2006; Lesia & Roets, 2013; Squires & Juárez, 2012; Toren et al., 2012; Walton‐Roberts, 2012; Zhou et al., 2011; Zinsli & Smythe, 2009). Many nurse professionals live in countries plagued by social instability and civic unrest, which can hinder growth in nursing identity and development of professional competence (Ortiga, 2014; Walton‐Roberts, 2012; Zinsli & Smythe, 2009).…”

“…Managing changes in gender, class and generational issues were described as essential when facilitating the Global Nursing practice (Brunetto et al., 2012; Havens et al., 2013; Lesia & Roets, 2013; Squires & Juárez, 2012; Toren et al., 2012; Wieck, 2003; Zhou et al., 2011; Zinsli & Smythe, 2009). For the nursing workforce, preferences on work engagement and subordinate communication followed generations (Brunetto et al., 2012; Gerrish & Griffith, 2003; Havens et al., 2013).…”

Medical Students’ Working Preferences - A Pilot Study in Romania

“…In some studies, work life balance was identified as an important factor for choosing a job (Kiolbassa et al 2011). Moreover, the level of patient contact, the student's intellectual satisfaction and the security of the job were other essential factors for students when considering a career (Glynn 2010;Takeda et al 2013;Toren, Zelker and Porat 2012). Previous research discovered that students were influenced also by the advice received from family members and friends and by a positive social atmosphere at the workplace (Takeda et al 2013;Toren, Zelker and Porat 2012).…”
