The WELLMIG team members are reflecting on the effects of the pandemic on our own lives as researchers.

Marta Bivand Erdal and Lubomiła Korzeniewska reflect on the effects of the pandemic on migrant nurses and deskilling.

What happens to a nurse’s social position if they move physically? What happens to their social position back in the country of origin, and in Norway, if they migrate here for work?

Drawing on their research with Polish and Filipino nurses Marta Bivand Erdal and Lubomiła Korzeniewska reflect on the use of migration terminology and the implicit roles gender and race play in labelling people on the move.

Elżbieta Goździak writes about how working in Norwegian nursing homes has affected Polish nurses’ attitudes towards death and dying.
