AcademyHealth, a non-partisan, scholarly society for health services researchers, policy analysts, and practitioners, has published the Voluntary Code of Ethical Conduct for the Recruitment of Foreign-Educated Nurses to the United States. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation also provided funding for the project. Here is information on the Code and its related web site.
AcademyHealth, along with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and a taskforce of diverse stakeholders, has released the Voluntary Code of Ethical Conduct for the Recruitment of Foreign-Educated Nurses to the United States (the Code) and its Web site, www.fairinternationalrecruitment.org.
The Web site serves as a comprehensive resource and media center for information related to the background, development, and implementation of the Code—including FAQs, a list of endorsers, reading lists, Webcasts, press releases, tool kits, and external resources.
The Code, designed to increase transparency and accountability throughout the process of international recruitment and ensure adequate orientation for foreign-educated nurses (FENs), also provides guidance on ways to ensure recruitment is not harmful to source countries. See the list of endorsers and supporters.
