Aim(S):
The main aim of this article is to outline the devastating aftereffects of COVID-19 in terms of ethical recruitment and the respect of dignity of nurses and health care professionals.
Background:
Nations experience the ominous impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of an exacerbated shortage of nurses worldwide. In this situation, migration flows of nurses are skyrocketing and the respect of the migrant nurses' dignity as human beings should be guaranteed.
Evaluation:
Data from reports elaborated by the International Centre on Nurse Migration (ICNM) were examined and outlined the central role of the respect of dignity of every nurse to prevent unethical exploitation of them.
Key Issue(S):
The respect of human dignity is a complex concept. Human dignity denotes the inner nature of human beings but also their rights at work.
Conclusion(S):
In a post-COVID-19 world with increased flows of nurse migration, it is crucial to guarantee dignity at work for migrant nurses.
Implications For Nursing Management:
Nurse leaders should prioritize the ethical recruitment of health care workers and give a prominent role to the WHO 'Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel' which recognizes the ethical bedrocks of employment.
