Although international nurse recruitment campaigns have succeeded in attracting large numbers of migrant nurses to countries such as Ireland, where domestic supply has not kept pace with demand, the long-term success of such initiatives from a workforce planning perspective will depend on the extent to which these nurses can be retained in destination countries.
This paper draws on qualitative, in-depth interviews undertaken with 21 migrant nurses in Ireland, focusing specifically on their future migration intentions.
Our findings indicate that more than half of the respondents are considering migration onwards, for the most part because the destination country has failed to provide them with sufficient stability, particularly in terms of citizenship and family reunification. In considering onward migration, factors outside the health system were of most concern to those interviewed.
This demonstrates the need for destination countries to take a broader and more long-term approach to international nurse recruitment, rather than regarding it as an inexpensive way to fill gaps within the health care system.
尽管国际护士招聘活动成功地吸引了大量移民护士前往爱尔兰等国家，这些国家的国内供应跟不上需求，但从劳动力规划的角度来看，此类举措的长期成功将取决于这些护士在目的地国家的保留程度。
本文借鉴了在爱尔兰进行的 21 名移民护士的定性深入访谈，专门关注他们未来的移民意向。
我们的研究结果表明，超过一半的受访者正在考虑继续迁移，最主要的原因是目的地国家未能为他们提供足够的稳定性，特别是在公民身份和家庭团聚方面。在考虑继续迁移时，受访者最关心的是卫生系统以外的因素。
这表明目的地国家需要采取更广泛和更长期的方法来进行国际护士招聘，而不是将其视为填补医疗保健系统空白的廉价方式。
