INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
Overseas migration of the nursing workforce is very common and
unfortunate. Migration and recruitment of overseas nurses has grown rapidly
over the years. A stable nursing workforce is necessary so that uniform care can
be provided to patients and promote public health care at the primary level.
Increased nursing turnover in hospitals and community areas makes it difficult
for management to provide continuity of care. India has been facing a shortage of
nurses since independence and disparities in the healthcare system in India are
driving migration and the status quo is grim to change. Ironically, with larger
populations it is difficult to maintain the adequate number of nurses needed to
keep the healthcare system running and countries with smaller populations. The
migration of trained nurses is significant and places a greater burden on the
system. In this article, push and pull factors have been discussed extensively
regarding the migration of Nurses abroad.

1.2 Formulation of the problem

 What factors influence nurses' international migration?
 What are the impacts and problems that occur on migration nurses?

1.3 Objective
 To find out what a migration nurse is
 To find out what factors influence nurse migration
 To find out the impact and problems that occur on migration nurses

 DISCUSSION
2.1 Migration Nurses
A. Understanding Migration Nurses
Migration nurses are individuals who have healthcare expertise and
choose to work in another country that is in need of medical labor. This can be
caused by various factors, including better job opportunities, higher salaries,
or better working conditions in the destination country. However, the
phenomenon of nurse migration also has several impacts, such as a shortage
of medical workers in their countries of origin, especially in areas that require
intensive health care. In addition, migrating nurses can also experience
cultural, language and adaptation challenges to different health systems in
their destination countries. Therefore, it is important to consider the benefits
and impact on the global health system and efforts to maintain an adequate
medical workforce in various countries.
A migration nurse is a nurse who chooses to work outside their home
country temporarily or permanently. They usually follow legal processes and
have qualifications and licenses that are recognized in the country where they
work. This allows them to provide healthcare services in the countries they
migrate to.

2.2 Factors Influencing Migration

The global nursing shortage is not the only determining factor in why nurses
enter the migration process and the underlying reasons are complex. Nurses are
encouraged by their home countries and pulled by host countries to migrate. The
conditions of the receiving country are a pull factor because these conditions
attract and facilitate the movement of nurses to that country. In the country of
origin (source), substandard conditions or circumstances encourage nurses to
leave their country or location of work and are thus a motivating factor .
Availability of work, opportunities for professional or career advancement,
personal development, recognition of professional skills, professional work

2
 environment, sensitive employment policies, stable socio-political environment,
improved quality of life, attractive salaries, and social and retirement benefits
represent some of the . pull factors that attract nurses to host countries. The
following push factors in the country of origin contribute to nurse migration: low
wage compensation, limited career opportunities, limited educational
opportunities, lack of resources to work effectively, unstable and/or dangerous
working conditions, lack of social benefits and /or retirement, and an
unsatisfactory or unstable political environment and the prevalence of
HIV/AIDS. The International Center on Nurse Migration reports that the main
causes of migration ('push' factors) stem from the desire for greater professional
development opportunities, the need for greater wage compensation and, in some
cases, the need for personal safety due to political upheaval.
It is a combination of push and pull factors that drives international nurse
migration. Nurses from poorer countries with lower levels of compensation (push
factor) will be attracted to richer countries with higher salaries and greater
employee benefits (pull factor). Moreover, an attractive recruitment strategy from
the recipient country will strengthen this attraction.

2.3 Impacts and Problems of Migration Nurses

International nurse migration affects many countries around the world. The
migration process can provide benefits at both individual and country levels.
However, there are also negative impacts that can have a big impact.

A. Impact of Migration on Nurses

When considering the impact of nurse migration on individuals, there are
both positive and negative aspects. The most common and significant benefit
of migration for nurses is the improved financial situation for nurses and their
families. For most migrant nurses, financial considerations are likely the main
factor influencing their decisions. The majority of nurses are poorly
compensated worldwide, especially in developing countries. Even though

3
nurses' salaries are not profitable in developed countries, the amount of money
given is quite large and large for nurses in developed countries. Nurses in
developing countries on average earn ten to twenty times more than they earn
in their home countries. With this increase in income, nurses can send money
back to their home countries and improve their families' standard of living.
While salary increases are a great benefit for migrant nurses, there are also
some negative experiences these nurses have had in host countries. First, there
is often a period of adjustment to a new work environment that can prove
challenging. Many nurses have to leave their families to work in a new
country and it is difficult to live in a foreign place without that support
network. Previous research suggests that overseas-trained nurses have
difficulty adjusting to new work environments in foreign countries. Language
and cultural differences are frequently reported as a source of difficulty for
migrant nurses. Due to accents, immigrant nurses often experience language
difficulties, even if their mother tongue is the same as the language of the host
country. Adaptation to a strict set of occupational standards in host countries
may also pose challenges for this population of nurses. Striking cultural
differences can also complicate the assimilation process into the host country.
For example, a nurse trained in Korea likened the cultures of Korea and the
United States to oil and water; Cultural differences make it difficult to adapt
to new environments.
Immigrant nurses also face challenges when forming working relationships
with host nurses in healthcare organizations . When immigrant nurses are able
to establish good relationships with their colleagues, the nurses will be
motivated to continue working and safety and quality of service will increase.
Alternatively, disrupted relationships at work result in feelings of frustration
with work. Some caregivers reported feelings of isolation, loneliness,
difficulty coping, frustration, confusion, and loss of self-confidence and self-
esteem during the adjustment process.

3.1 Conclusion
A migration nurse is a nurse who chooses to work outside their home country
temporarily or permanently. Factors Influencing Migration The global nursing
shortage is not the only determining factor in why nurses enter the migration
process and the underlying reasons are complex. Availability of work,
opportunities for professional or career advancement, personal development,
recognition of professional expertise, professional work environment sensitive
employment policies, stable socio-political environment, improved quality of life,
attractive salaries, and social and retirement benefits represent some of the things.

 migration. Impact of Migration on Nurses When considering the impact of nurse
migration on individuals, there are both positive and negative aspects. While salary
increases are a great benefit for migrant nurses, there are also some negative
experiences these nurses have had in host countries.

3.2 Suggestions

Be sure to have a detailed plan for how the migration will be carried out,
including the exact timing, resources needed, and potential impacts. And Make sure
nurses involved in the migration have adequate training about the new system or
environment they will encounter. This preparation is important to minimize disruption
in service.
