Background: Despite the large number of Indonesian nurses currentlyworking as migrant careworkers in Taiwan, no studies in the literature have been found that explore this phenomenon or assess theworking situation of Indonesian nursesworking in care facilities in Taiwan. Purpose: This study aimed to elicit and describe the lived experiences of Indonesian nurses serving as careworkers in Taiwan. Methods: Phenomenological research was used to explore the experiences of Indonesian nurses working in long-term care facilities. The participants were recruited from care facilities in Taiwan. This study utilized semistructured interviews conducted with 16 Indonesian nurses in a suitable setting. All of the interviews were transcribed, and the work of Van Manen was used to analyze the data. Results: Four main themes were identified, including motives for working abroad, feelings of being trapped, experiencing a difficult journey, and the feeling of being supported. These themes reflect the lived experiences of Indonesian nurses who work in Taiwan's long-term care industry. Conclusions: Nurses from Indonesia choose to who work as nurses in Taiwan because of poor financial background and the chance of gaining a better life. However, the participants in this study felt stressed, challenged, and disappointed when faced with the unmet expectations of being employed as care workers without a clear career path. Furthermore, the need to communicate in an unfamiliar languagewasmentioned as a significant barrier to fulfilling their role. Better policies should be put in place to achieve improved outcomes for both countries.
