What is it about?
In conclusion, returning home after working as a nurse abroad can be quite challenging. We suggest that programs should be created to make this return easier and more appealing. Doing so can help nurses share their knowledge with their home country and reduce the negative impact of losing skilled workers.

Why is it important?
Returning home after nursing abroad is tough. We suggest creating programs to make the return smoother, which can help Indonesia benefit from their skills and reduce the negative impact of losing nurses. By addressing this timely issue, our work contributes to the broader conversation on global healthcare workforce mobility and its implications.
Perspectives
This publication tackles the important issue of nurse migration and the hurdles returning nurses face. It's a global concern, given the demand for healthcare workers worldwide. The study's focus on Indonesian nurses returning from Japan is particularly relevant due to the Indonesia Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA), which has facilitated this migration. Understanding the challenges of nurse return migration is crucial for policymakers. It underscores the need for supportive programs to harness returning nurses' skills in their home countries. This research contributes to the ongoing conversation about global healthcare workforce mobility.
