International trade agreements are impacting on nursing. Nursing is becoming global profession, so nurses need to be responsive to practice globally. Goals for globalization of nursing are to improve the health of people in the world and to share nursing knowledge and experiences among nurses across countries and to advance nursing science and art to benefit the people in the global village. A shortage of RNs exists in countries throughout the world. The primary receiving countries are U.S, Australia, Canada and U.K. The effects of migration on donor countries include the loss of skilled personnel and economic investment, receiving countries receive skilled nurses to fill critical shortages with less economic investment But nurses migrates to seek better wages and working conditions than in their native countries. Most of Korean nurses want to work in the U.S. When Korean nurses work in the hospital setting in the U.S, the language barrier was a problem faced by them. They faced problems of a difference of nursing practice and cultural difference, interpersonal relationship in the stage of adjustment. This shows some kind of programmes should be developed to facilitate and solve Korean Nurses` adjustment to USA hospital in the future.
