| dc.description.abstract | Nigerian nurses began migrating from the country in the early 1980s when Nigeria's economy was in crisis. The nursing profession, a predominantly female profession, witnessed a departure of its members searching for greener pastures. This study looks at migration by Nigerian female nurses from the prism of the lucrativeness of nursing jobs in the Global North and Remittances. This study seeks to understand the intricate interplay of gender as these female nurses assumed the roles of breadwinners in a patriarchal society. It examines the Push/Pull factors on the one hand and the Stick/Stay factors on the other. This historical study relies on qualitative and quantitative methods through reliance on oral interviews (structured/unstructured), newspaper articles, google forms, other primary and secondary sources. It concludes that economic considerations prompted the movement of Nigerian female nurses, majorly, the worth of the remittances, in the face of a monetary crisis. | |
