An individual trained as a nurse in South Africa has set a personal goal to practicing nursing in the United States. What issue should this person be prepared to address to meet this personal goal?
1. Converting U.S. money
2. Comparable skill level
3. Living accommodations
4. Transportation to the hospital
Correct Answer: 2
Barriers to nurse migration include the process of requalification, costs of physical relocation, learning a new language and technical terminology, adapting to different clinical practices, and navigating the process of immigration (e.g., obtaining worker visas, residency, and/or citizenship) in the recipient country. Although some nurses who have migrated send part of their salary back to their home country, converting U.S. money is not a major issue for this individual to address. Living accommodations and transportation are not identified as barriers to nurse migration.
