| Summary: | Background: The significant global shortage of nursing profession in many countries, including
Malaysia has become a tremendous issue and the increment of international recruitment to fill
the gaps. It leads to migration where skilled nurses move to wealthier nations for better
opportunities which are driven by several factors. Methods: A qualitative research with
descriptive design and data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Findings: All
respondents expressed a desire to pursue international employment. Nursing students are
motivated to work abroad by a range of factors beyond financial incentives, including
opportunities for professional growth and personal aspirations. Nevertheless, substantial
obstacles such as financial limitations, linguistic disparities, and personal hurdles need to be
addressed to support their successful integration and retention in the global healthcare sector.
Conclusion: The research identified financial opportunities, professional growth, and personal
interest, while significant barriers include economic factors, language proficiency issues, and
individual challenges. The study suggests recommendations aimed at addressing these challenges
and fostering support for nursing students in achieving their career objectives. |
