Abstract: PURPOSE: To examine emerging trends in global nurse migration and those effects on nurse workforce planning and development efforts in select donor and recipient countries. DESIGN AND METHODS: This integrative literature review is an analysis of current literature (journal articles, media, and press releases) and data from various sources (PUMS, NSSRN, CGFNS, Nurse & Midwifery Council) to explicate new trends in nurse migration. FINDINGS: Rapid changes in nurse migration are significantly challenging nurse workforce management efforts in both donor and recipient nations. CONCLUSIONS: As the market demand for nurses around the globe escalates, the changes and consequences associated with nurse migration are increasingly in need of policy solutions that indicate the needs and motivations of all stakeholders.
