Other Titles

Cultural diversity in the nursing workforce

Abstract

Identity affects real human experience. Migrant nurses have a complex sense of identity as their identities are contested and renegotiated in new contexts. This study applied Giddens' identity theory to present an understanding of how the identity of Chinese nurses in Australia is impacted through migration.
