Migration of Latin American nurses to Spain 2006-2016: a case study.

Despite the lack of any transparent policy on the credential approvals, in practice the government is limiting access to the nursing labour market by overseas education nurses. We urge that attention be paid by health human resource planners on the intersection between labour market and migration trends to support a transparent and data-informed discussion by all stakeholders on the current state of the nursing labour market in Spain and its future needs.
