  The Exodus

  Sep 8, 2022

  When Moses led the people through the red sea, they were escaping from Egypt for a reason. Life in Egypt had become unbearable, signaling a need for change.
  Jamaican Nurses have migrated to different countries for several years and continue to do so even today. Migration is not specific to Jamaica and occurs in other countries such as the Philippines, India, and Africa. 
  Nurses migrate for several reasons not limited to financial stability, better opportunities for themselves and their families, and a stable environment. The ability to secure better o is one of the main influential factors for Nurse migration to the USA, Canada, and England. Migrating to other countries gives the ability not only to the individual who migrated but also to other family members. Nurses who migrate can take their families as they transition to the chosen country. Who would not want such an opportunity? The migration opportunity speaks volumes for itself, despite the changes and adjustments that nurses and their families make. Migration is an initial sacrifice, but everyone has an end goal and a plan in hindsight. Nurses who migrate usually travel through an agency that assists them with securing a job and a permanent residency visa. A permanent residency visa is a green light to the opportunities America offers, such as the ability to enjoy the benefits of the American system as a USA citizen would. Nurses who migrate with one's families also provide support and the ability to have other family members travel in the future. Nurses are able to obtain their citizenship after being in the US for approximately five years. Once citizenship is secured a nurse can also gain permanent residency for other family members including their mother and father. The US system also offers many benefits for children who migrates to the USA with their parents, as they usually excel and do very well in the education system. The ease of building credit, securing a home and retuning to school are other reasons why nurses migrate. Online education in the US and ability to upgrade is a significant reason for migration. The same may also be true of other nurses from the countries mentioned above. 
  My main reason was the ease with enrolling in education after being at the bedside. Jamaica offers a slow system of first come basis, which is outdated and lack rigor. There are long  periods to complete and enroll  in a course. The flexibility is also at ground zero, making it difficult to enroll in master program. As a nurse, I enjoy freedom and the flexibility to choose my way.
