Understanding Nurse Return Migration: Factors and Impacts

What is it about?

Return migration of nurses is a complex topic, but we've broken it down. We looked at why nurses decide to return to their home country after working abroad, what drives this, and what happens as a result. Our research found that the reasons for returning can vary from personal choices to economic factors. When nurses return, it can have positive or negative effects depending on different perspectives, like the nurses themselves, the countries they come from and go to, and the healthcare systems involved. This analysis helps us better understand this important aspect of nursing and migration.
