My hospital has ethical concerns about foreign nurse recruitment. What information can be provided to address and alleviate those concerns?
The International Council for Nurses (ICN) has released a position statement on ethical nurse recruitment. Key points of the statement focus on source countries, recruitment practices, and clinical transitioning support. ICN recognizes the right of individual nurses to migrate, and confirms the potential beneficial outcomes of multicultural practice and learning opportunities supported by migration. ICN condemns the practice of recruiting nurses to countries where authorities have failed to implement sound human resource planning and to seriously address problems which cause nurses to leave the profession and discourage them from returning to it. ICN denounces unethical recruitment practices that exploit nurses or mislead them into accepting job responsibilities and working conditions that are incompatible with their qualifications, skills, and experience.
