Although the increased salary is a great benefit to migrant nurses, there are also several unfavorable experiences that these nurses endure in the recipient countries. First, there is often a period of adjustment to the new work environment that can prove challenging. Many nurses must leave their families behind to work in the new country and it is difficult to live in an unfamiliar place without that support network. Previous research has shown that foreign-trained nurses have trouble adjusting to a new work environment in a foreign country [9]. Language and cultural differences are frequently reported as sources of difficulty for migrant nurses. Because of the presence of an accent, immigrant nurses often have language difficulties, even when their native language is the same as that of the recipient country [10]. Adaptation to a rigorous set of occupational standards in the recipient country can also pose a challenge for this population of nurses [5]. Stark cultural differences can make it difficult to assimilate into the recipient country as well. For example, a Korean-trained nurse likened the cultures of Korea and the United States to oil and water; the cultural differences made it difficult for her to adapt to a new environment
