Recruiting foreign nurse graduates (FNGs) is one way hospitals--particularly those in the nation's inner cities--are responding to the periodic and cyclic shortages that characterize the labor market for registered nurses. Until now, little was known about the overall efficacy of this strategy. This article reports the findings of an 18-month study of the recruitment and employment of FNGs by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation. Although considerably more expensive to recruit than domestic nurses, FNGs have higher retention rates than U.S.-educated nurses and possess other characteristics that make them desirable recruits for hospitals experiencing a nursing shortage.
招募外国护士毕业生是医院应对注册护士劳动力市场周期性短缺的一种方式，尤其是那些位于美国内陆城市的医院。到目前为止，人们对这一策略的整体效果知之甚少。本文报告了纽约市卫生与医院公司对外国护士毕业生招募和就业情况进行的为期18个月的研究结果。尽管招募外国护士毕业生的成本比国内护士高得多，但他们的留用率高于在美国接受教育的护士，并且具有其他特质，这使得他们成为那些面临护士短缺问题的医院的理想招募对象。
