Mobility and movement is an increasingly important part of work for many, however, Employment-Related Geographical Mobility (ERGM), defined as the extended movement of workers between places of permanent residence and employment, is relatively understudied among healthcare workers. It is critical to understand the policies that affect ERGM, and how they impact mobile healthcare workers. We outline four key intersecting policy contexts related to the ERGM of healthcare workers, focusing on the mobility of Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Continuing Care Assistants (CCAs) in Nova Scotia: international labour mobility and migration; interprovincial labour mobility; provincial credential recognition; and, workplace and occupational health and safety.
对于许多人来说,流动性和移动性在工作中变得越来越重要。然而,就业相关地理流动性(ERGM),即工人在永久居住地和工作地点之间的长期移动,在医护人员中相对较少受到研究。了解影响ERGM的政策以及这些政策如何影响流动医护人员至关重要。我们概述了与医护人员ERGM相关的四个关键交叉政策背景,重点关注新斯科舍省注册护士(RN)、执业护士(LPN)和持续护理助理(CCA)的流动性:国际劳动力流动和移民;省际劳动力流动;省级证书认可;以及工作场所和职业健康与安全。
