Nurse Shortages and Migration

The nursing shortage is a global issue and high-income countries have long recruited nurses from low- to moderate-income countries. They are continuing to do so, despite shortages of nurses and healthcare and education resources in these poorer countries. This has raised important issues about nurse migration, ethical recruiting practices, and treatment of recruited nurses in the destination countries. HealthCetera Producer and Host Dr. Diana Mason, RN, PhD, talked about these issues with Dr. Calvin Morley, RN, PhD, is a Professor for Diversity & Social Justice, Nursing Department, London South Bank University. His research focuses on the interplay of gender, culture, race and health using a social justice lens. He also is the recipient of the prestigious Churchill Fellowship and they discuss the aims of his fellowship. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on November 27, 2025
