The availability of investigations that develop into the reasons for nurse migration in Puerto Rico is close to none. On top of that, the government has out-of-date information that fails to provide an adequate, accurate, or feasible number that appropriately represents the current crisis that plagues the island in the healthcare system. This investigation is done to determine and identify the factors causing nurse migration in Puerto Rico. From push factors making nurses leave the country and pull factors that make the nurses have more intention to leave the country. This investigation concluded that the main factor causing the nurses to leave Puerto Rico is their low salary, among other sub-factors like working conditions, excessive working hours, and lack of resources.
