Ethical concerns in nurse migration
International nurse migration is natural and to be expected. Recently, however, those who have fostered nurse migration believe that it will solve nursing shortages in developed countries and offer nurse migrants better working conditions and an improved quality of life. Whether natural or manipulated, migration flow patterns largely occur from developing to developed countries. In this article, nurse migration is examined using primary health care (PHC) as an ethical framework. The unmanaged flow of nurse migrants from developing to developed countries is inconsistent with bhealth for allQ principles. Removing key health personnel from countries experiencing resource shortages is contrary to PHC equity. Often, nurse migrants are placed in vulnerable, inequitable work roles, and employing nurse migrants fails to address basic causes of nurse shortages in developed countries, such as dissatisfaction with work conditions and decreased funding for academic settings.
Nurse migration policies and procedures can be developed to satisfy PHC ethics criteria if they:
- leave developing countries enhanced rather than depleted
- contribute to country health outcomes consistent with essential care for all people
- are based on community participation
- address common nursing labor issues
- involve equitable and clear financial arrangements.

Global Health Bioethics
The aim of this initiative is to provide resources to enable people conducting global health bioethics research in both developing and developed countries to communicate about issues in global health research ethics, share models of good research practice, collaborate on developing research ideas or applying for research grants, get constructive feedback on bioethics-related PhD proposals, and have ready access to a wide range of resources on research ethics. It is our hope that these resources will encourage local research initiatives, improve ethical standards in collaborative global health research, and contribute to the development and sharing of research ethics capacity.
