“…For instance, the United States estimated about 550,000 nursing workforce shortfall in 2019 (Spurlock Jr, 2020 ). There is, therefore, a strong commitment by HICs to address the nursing shortage as the global shortage is projected to be 7.6 million by 2030 (Goh & Lopez, 2016 ; Shaffer et al, 2022 ; WHO, 2016b ).…”

“…Shaffer et al ( 2022 ) reiterate that migration is an effective developmental tool to solve unemployment problems, reduce poverty and mobilize financial resources for growth. Increased flows of remittances, in particular, have also been used to justify the benefits of emigration to LMICs.…”

“…An estimated 25% of nurses also have the intention to quit their job due to constraints from the pandemic. Again, more than a 1000 nurses have died as a result of the epidemic with the ICN confirming that the profession is experiencing major trauma, especially in HICs (Berlin et al, 2021 ; ICN, 2020 ; Shaffer et al, 2022 ).…”

Aim The study aimed to determine the emigration intentions of specialist nurses (SNs) and ascertain the influencing factors, implications and mitigating factors in Ghana. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods The sample was composed of 225 participants conveniently selected from a tertiary facility in Ghana. A turnover intention scale and the researchers' developed questionnaire were used to collect the data between June 1 and September 30, 2021. Data were analysed through descriptive statistics and linear regression. Results The composite mean score for specialist nurses' intention to migrate was high (mean = 3.43); and the push factors accounted for the intentions explaining 48.6% of the variation ( R 2 = 0.486, F (5, 219) = 38.46, p < 0.001). The associated challenges of specialist nurses' emigration are increased cost of training new specialist nurses, poor quality of specialist nursing care, burnout syndrome among staff and poor patient health outcomes.

“…In this situation, guaranteeing decent work conditions for nurses and other health care professionals could be daunting. Policymakers and nurse leaders should quickly enact actions to mitigate the harms of unscrupulous recruitment by part of ruthless poachers who scur along with low‐ and middle‐income countries that are the main reservoir of migrant health workers (Shaffer et al, 2022 ).…”

Aim(s) The main aim of this article is to outline the devastating aftereffects of COVID‐19 in terms of ethical recruitment and the respect of dignity of nurses and health care professionals. Background Nations experience the ominous impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic in terms of an exacerbated shortage of nurses worldwide. In this situation, migration flows of nurses are skyrocketing and the respect of the migrant nurses' dignity as human beings should be guaranteed. Evaluation Data from reports elaborated by the International Centre on Nurse Migration (ICNM) were examined and outlined the central role of the respect of dignity of every nurse to prevent unethical exploitation of them. Key issue(s) The respect of human dignity is a complex concept. Human dignity denotes the inner nature of human beings but also their rights at work. Conclusion(s) In a post‐COVID‐19 world with increased flows of nurse migration, it is crucial to guarantee dignity at work for migrant nurses. Implications for Nursing Management Nurse leaders should prioritize the ethical recruitment of health care workers and give a prominent role to the WHO ‘Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel’ which recognizes the ethical bedrocks of employment.

“…While globalization has many positive effects on the healthcare industry, such as improving access to medical technology and expertise, it has also created new challenges for healthcare professionals. In fact, the growth of international trade and the interconnectedness of economies have facilitated the movement of people, goods, and services across borders and this increased mobility has also led to a more remarkable migration of healthcare professionals as countries seek to fill shortages in their healthcare workforce [ 8 ]. The increasing competition for healthcare professionals in the global market has resulted in the exploitation of workers, a brain drain from low- and middle-income countries, and a decline in healthcare quality in some communities [ 9 ].…”
