The nursing shortage is a global problem, which affects the host country and the migrating nurse’s country of origin. Please develop a response discussing the motivation for nurses to migrate and the problems migration creates for the host country and country of origin.
Some of the issues that motivate nurses to migrate to other countries are career advancement, better quality of life, economic opportunities, better education for their children, and better work environments. The opportunities to advance in nursing may not exist or may not be as prevalent as it is in the United States or other host countries. For example, we offer cutting-edge healthcare facilities with the most updated equipment and resources for our nurses. We have research and development teams to make sure we have the latest and best treatments and skills on hand to treat our patients. We have continuing education courses and on the job training for management and administrative positions. We have facilities that specialize in Cancer, Diabetes, and other specific illnesses. These options may not be available to them in their home country. The best quality of life that can be achieved is what everyone wants. Some of the home countries of migrating nurses do not offer the healthcare, housing developments, shopping malls and stores, like we do in the U.S. A lot of them have a great number of hungry, homeless, and migrant people all around them. These nurses want better for their families and themselves. Most of the migrating nurses that I work with stated that one of the main reasons for leaving their home country was for better wages and better education for their children. They stated that the schools were not clean and safe like they are here, and that after high school level, there were not many options for college courses and degrees. One of my nurses stated that the work environment here is way better than what she left behind. For example, she stated that a lot of the time running water was not available, they had to use bottled water to pass meds and give baths. The food quality was poor in the hospital. The building itself was run down and dilapidated. They had no security at the building and there were always people in the parking lot begging for money or drugs. That's not a safe environment in which to work or live. The migration of nurses can pose a problem for both the host country and the country of origin. For the host country, problems that can arise because of migration are fewer nursing jobs will be available and competition will be increased. Migrating nurses tend to not speak English fluently. This language barrier can pose a problem for healthcare because communication may not be clear and effective for the patient. The country of origin may face problems from migration of nurses as well. The shortage of nurses will become even shorter. Many countries invest in the education and training of nurses, this will result in a loss of their investment (Rosenkoetter, et al,.2017).
Describe the process for foreign-educated nurses to achieve credentialing and demonstrate language competency in the U.S.
There are requirements migrating nurses must accomplish before they can practice in the United States. They are:
1. The migrating nurse must obtain a college degree in nursing.
2. The migrating nurse must have a license abroad as an RN.
3. Passing the English examination is the next step for the nurse.
4. The nurse must Pass the NCLEX examination.
5. The nurse must get, or already have a job offer from a U.S. employer.
6. The nurse must get an RN license in the state of intended employment.
7. The nurse must also obtain a Visa-Screen certificate.
8. The nurse must get the approval of an I-140 visa petition.
9. When his/her priority date is current, get an immigrant visa abroad or, if he/she is lawfully present in the United States, apply for adjustment of status.
10. When the RN is interviewed for an immigrant visa (green card), his/her spouse and children will be interviewed and granted immigrant visas together with the RN (CGFNS International, 2023).

Globalization of Healthcare.html
Globalization of Healthcare
There is little doubt that healthcare is the “Grand Business,” and its ability to adjust and realign to, identify, and seize the opportunity for growth and profit is unmatched. The genesis of innovation in healthcare is served by the free market concept. Many recognize the US healthcare industry as second to none with respect to innovation, quality, and outcomes. To support this fact, there is a long history of dignitaries and statesmen who seek healthcare at leading teaching institutions in the United States. To further this point, leading healthcare organizations in the United States have established international care centers designed to provide care to this select population.
A number of leading healthcare organizations have established satellite healthcare facilities, which provide care at locations around the globe. This globalization of healthcare services interconnects the world but poses cultural challenges. The western medical education has some challenges in other cultures and the conceptual idea of globalization in healthcare can present a countercurrent of diversity. The ideas of diversity and difference rest within the individual as well as how he or she perceive their difference and barriers. By no means is it inferred that the issue or idea of diversity does not exist. It, in fact, is real and a challenge for many for a multitude of reasons.
There is an estimated global healthcare workforce shortage of almost 4.3 million consisting of physicians, midwives, nurses, and other professionals. This shortage has spurred the migration of healthcare workers from around the globe to the United States. Healthcare professionals pursue opportunity through the migration process, seeking education, training, compensation, and quality of life. However, while the migration patterns might alleviate the problem for the host nation, they could exacerbate the problems for the country of origin, increasing the healthcare and disease burden. To address the shortage of health professional, education programs and the development of new programs must be a priority.
Satellite Healthcare Services
The United States is renowned for its excellence in healthcare around the globe. Dignitaries and Royalty have been known to access healthcare through international care clinics at leading healthcare centers in the United States. Many of the foremost teaching healthcare organizations offer international care to the world’s elite. These facilities are present, but most people never have the opportunity to have knowledge of the facilities for privacy and security reasons. Individuals from around the globe visit international care centers for specific care. There facilities are designed to cater to healthcare needs for the international client. A partial listing of healthcare organizations offering international care are Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Massachusetts General, Slone Kettering, Johns Hopkins, and a host of others. Many facilities specialize in specific medical need areas. In more recent years, geography has played a role in international care venues. Great Britain has been increasing its capability of elite international healthcare and is a matter of convenience for some European dignitaries.
In addition, some healthcare organizations have established satellite facilities around the globe. These facilities provide healthcare to millions abroad. A partial listing is given below.
