Abstract

More than 8% of employed RNs licensed since 2004 in the United States were educated overseas, yet little is known about the conditions of their recruitment or the impact of that experience on health care practice. This study assessed whether the labor rights of foreign-educated nurses were at risk during the latest period of high international recruitment: 2003 to 2007. Using consensus-based standards contained in the Voluntary Code of Ethical Conduct for the Recruitment of Foreign-Educated Health Professionals to the United States, this study found 50% of actively recruited foreign-educated nurses experienced a negative recruitment practice. The study also found that nurses educated in low-income countries and nurses with high contract breach fees, were significantly more likely to report such problems. If, as experts believe may occur, the nursing shortage in the United States returns around 2014, oversight of international recruitment will become critically important to delivering high-quality health care to Americans.

留学护士的移民和合同问题。
自2004年以来,在美国获得执照的注册护士中,超过8%的人在海外接受过教育,但他们的招聘条件或这种经历对医疗保健实践的影响却鲜为人知。本研究评估了2003 - 2007年国际招聘高峰期间,外国教育护士的劳动权利是否存在风险。根据《美国招聘外国教育卫生专业人员自愿道德行为准则》中包含的基于共识的标准,这项研究发现,50%的积极招聘的外国教育护士经历了负面的招聘实践。该研究还发现,在低收入国家接受教育的护士和违约费较高的护士更有可能报告此类问题。专家们认为,如果美国的护士短缺问题在2014年左右再次出现,那么对国际招聘的监督将对向美国人提供高质量的医疗服务至关重要。
