Demand for nurses is increasing across the world. Bangladesh produces a significant number of nurses each year. They contribute to meeting the country’s nursing demands. Additionally, some nurses have the opportunity to emigrate, particularly to high- and middle-income countries. This descriptive study aimed to investigate perceived barriers to emigration among Bangladesh nurses. The participants were 430 Bangladesh nurses. Data were collected via a self-reported survey questionnaire. Nurses’ demographic information and responses regarding migration were analyzed through descriptive statistics. Their responses to questions about barriers to migration were analyzed by content analysis. The study found that the majority of nurses were willing to emigrate and that they preferred to work as specialized nurses. The migration barriers they perceived were categorized into (a) personal, (b) academic, (c) administrative, and (d) economic. Relevant authorities and policymakers may use these findings as a basis for initiatives to minimize nurses’ emigration barriers in order to better access nursing markets in high- and middle-income countries.
