Aim: To understand the experiences of Filipino internationally educated nurses (FIENs) on their recognition and credentialing pathway in the recruitment process in Finland. Background: The nursing shortage in Finland results in the recruitment of internationally educated nurses (IENs) such as those from the Philippines. In the context of migration, IENs experience a rigorous process to become qualified nurses in the destination country. Methods: A thematic analysis of the secondary data from qualitative interviews was conducted. Ten FIENs (n = 10) were recruited from university hospitals in Finland through purposeful and snowball sampling. The study adhered to the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist. Results: Three main themes were identified. First, pre‐migration victories and predicaments described the experiences of FIENs during the recruitment process and the pathway to acquiring a Registered Nurse qualification. Second, ambiguous integration implied integrating into the workplace while working on the top‐up education programme as a prerequisite to nursing registration. Lastly, migration uncertainty discussed the interest among FIENs to continue practising as Registered Nurses (RNs) in Finland. Conclusions: Pre‐migration orientation and workplace integration experiences influenced FIENs' choice to practise as RNs in Finland. The licensure pathway for FIENs required collaboration from various stakeholders in Finnish society. It is recommended to structure the system for the recognition and qualification process of IENs by creating a national model in line with international standards and requirements in collaboration with higher education institutions. Implication for nursing policy: Recognition of previous education and clinical experience can facilitate the transition to becoming an RN for IENs, but the lack of a clear education model and recognition of foreign nursing qualifications leads to deskilling and hinders IENs from practising. Policies prioritising education and integration into the local healthcare system can facilitate the integration and professional growth of IENs, enabling them to contribute significantly to the healthcare system.
