Our Foundation

Giving voice to Filipino Nurses living in the Nordic Region as a minority group in the decision-making process.
Evidence-based practice shall be the basis in making decisions and implementing policies.
Professional Networking and Continuing Education
The Triennial Report 2025 signifies a substantial landmark in the continuous progression of Filipino Internationally Educated Nurses (FIENs) within the Nordic Region. This report, which encompasses the years 2021 to 2024, signifies the culmination of meticulous data collection, policy analysis, and community engagement spearheaded by the Filipino Nurses Association in the Nordic Region (FiNAN). This phenomenon is indicative of the evolving landscape of healthcare migration, as well as the resilience, dedication, and aspirations of Filipino nurses who have chosen to establish their professional careers in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the self-governing territories of Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Åland.
