ABSTRACT Aims This study aimed to (1) gain an understanding of the experiences of IENs in providing cancer and end‐of‐life care; (2) explore their cultural beliefs and practices and analyse how their experiences, beliefs, and practices shape approaches to nursing care within this care context. Design Hermeneutic inquiry. Methods Purposive and snowball sampling was used to recruit 11 IENs from South, East, and Southeast Asian regions working as registered nurses in Australian healthcare settings. Data were collected between June 2021 and May 2023 through semi‐structured interviews that were audio‐recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and identify patterns and themes. Results Three major themes were identified: embodied beliefs and practices, tenets of care approaches, and professional adaptation and upskilling. The findings revealed that the personal and professional beliefs and practices of IENs were shaped by their own cultural heritage. These cultural values and practices were integrated into their care approaches despite the tensions and challenges of doing so. Conclusion In culturally diverse workplaces, nurses bring deeply rooted care values into their practice. These perspectives offer an important yet often overlooked opportunity to improve care through more inclusive and culturally responsive models. Impact and Implications This study identified how IENs' cultural beliefs and practices shape their nursing care delivery, revealing tensions that can arise in integrating these cultural values. While cultural differences are expected, the significance lies in how they are acknowledged, integrated, or ignored. The findings suggest that IENs may experience cultural dissonance when their values are not aligned with dominant care models, highlighting the need for more inclusive workplace practices and structural support to promote belonging, cultural humility, and mutual learning within the nursing profession. Reporting Method The standards for reporting qualitative research guidelines were used. Patient or Public Contribution No patient or public contribution.
