India being the second largest nurse exporter to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, currently faces a shortage of 2.4 million nurses. The problem of nurse shortage has been aggravated by the COVID pandemic. The young age at which the Indian nurses migrate, suggests that the decision to work overseas is made probably at the time of pursuing the studies or probably one pursues nursing because it opens the opportunity for working overseas. The objective of this study was to assess the intensions of nursing students to pursue overseas career on completion of their studies. The study used a cross-sectional survey design to collect data from 1408 nursing students from across four states of India namely, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra and Rajasthan using a google survey form. The major finding of the study was that 54% of the respondents intended to migrate overseas. Better career advancement opportunities, better working conditions, higher pay, better lifestyle, were the reasons cited by those who had an intension to migrate. Establishing norms for nurse-patient ratios, and scope of work along with pay scales for nurses with various qualifications and experience could be the most strategic moves that the policy makers can consider to control brain drain in nursing and control nurse migration.
印度是向经济合作与发展组织（OECD）国家输出护士数量第二多的国家，目前面临着 240 万名护士短缺的问题。护士短缺问题因 COVID 大流行而加剧。印度护士移民的年龄较小，这表明他们决定到海外工作可能是在求学期间，或者是因为护理专业为他们到海外工作提供了机会。本研究的目的是评估护理专业学生在完成学业后从事海外职业的意愿。该研究采用横断面调查设计，从印度四个邦（卡纳塔克邦、喀拉拉邦、马哈拉施特拉邦和拉贾斯坦邦）的 1408 名护理专业学生中收集数据，使用谷歌调查表格进行。研究的主要发现是，54%的受访者有移民海外的意向。那些有移民意向的人表示，更好的职业发展机会、更好的工作条件、更高的薪酬、更好的生活方式是他们选择移民的原因。为护士与患者的比例、工作范围以及不同资格和经验的护士的薪酬标准制定规范，可能是决策者可以考虑的最具战略性的举措，以控制护理领域的人才流失和护士移民。
