Italian nurses abroad: insights into motivations, challenges, and opportunities
The Italian healthcare system must learn from the successful models adopted abroad to improve working conditions and counter the migration of skilled professionals. Beyond economic incentives, this study highlights the need for greater recognition of nurses' roles, both socially and professionally. Improving work environments and fostering respect and empowerment can reduce migration and ensure the sustainability of healthcare services while preparing future generations to deliver high-quality care.
