Mireille Kingma's "Nurses on the Move"05/15/2006
Insight from the New York Times: http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/05/24/news/nurses.php Positive praise from the International Nursing Review: & Early Acclaim: “Nurses on the Move is an informative, comprehensive discussion of international nurse migration providing a synthesis of numerous reports and publications, poignant interviews with nurse migrants, and analysis of nurse migration in the larger context of the global workforce. Everything related to international nurse migration can be found in this highly readable volume of interest to nurses, policy makers, and the public.”—Linda H. Aiken, Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research, University of Pennsylvania “This book analyzes a major policy issue—the migration of nurses around the globe. It considers the way migration has become big business and also highlights the personal experiences of nurses themselves. In so doing, Nurses on the Move gives us a better understanding of this important trend that has an impact on the contemporary health care workforce.”—James Buchan, Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh “Nurses on the Move reveals the new shape of globalization. Skilled, overwhelmingly female nurses are moving in the hundreds of thousands around the globe. Mireille Kingma’s exciting book puts a human face on the new worldwide labor market for nurses. Beyond uncovering the complicated economic and social forces that push nurses into migration from poor countries, Kingma explores how labor might transform the ‘brain drain’ in nursing into a ‘brain gain’ that benefits nurses, patients, and society as a whole. Anyone interested in health care, global labor, or in organizing health care workers needs to read this book.”—Elaine Bernard, Harvard Law School |
